Conley) Once I had my heroes Once I had my dreams But all of that is changed now Gets twisted inside out The truth is not that comfortable, no No And Mother taught us patience The virtues of restraint And Father taught us boundaries In honor we must go The vanity will colour us, yeah That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver That feeling passes by this way A friend of mine once told me His one and only aim To build a giant castle And in it sign his name The silence whispers me and you in chains ??? That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver That feeling passes by this way Yeah And now the sky is empty But that is nothing new The dead eyes look upon us And they tell me we're nothing but things ???
