Insomnium - The Killjoy lyrics

To know love is to ache
Hurt yourself and repent
For in the end all is gone
Lights go out, your time is spent

If I were you I would
Retract and lock my heart
Concede defeat and admit I was off the mark
If I were you I would turn
Away and hide my face
Swallow my pride and then finish
Ere it's all disgrace

All of our dreams now laid on the sand
To wait by the perilous tides
To be washed away into the depths
And sink without a trace
Just a fool's hope remains

To rejoice is to lapse
Fool yourself and repent
Mirth will soon turn into woe
Reveries to contempt

If I were you I would
Now bring the curtain down
Accept my lot and thus fathom
Out my own bounds if I were you I would rue
The day when I was born
Cleanse all in life and
Redeem myself from scorn, scorn

Remember these words when tide is turning
The less you hope for, the less you suffer
If you dare to trust, then you shall shatter
Lunge from the heights and
Fall to smithereens

And when you come here
With charred wings and a defiled heart
Wait not for compassion
Or words of consolation
For only a gleeful smile is greeting you

All of our dreams now laid on the sand
To wait by the perilous tides
To be washed away into the depths
And sink without a trace
Just a fool's hope remains

Just a fool's hope remains
