The Hotelier - A Rhapsody in Black lyrics

Perfect lines we're walking in
Sand the sides down until we're all too thin
Paint us nice so we'll disguise
Burning skin in whiter lies
And the rest of the world, we'll despise
Seeing life through hungry eyes

We're burning land to build upon
Until what we have and know is gone
And still the worker bee drones on
On and on the world withdrawn from
Everyone but the TVs on

Its all the same these human games we play
Hiding from the path we stray
But seeking more along the way
We're never lost
We breathe in our own exhaust
Then we put our blindfolds on
Before we hit what's coming on



So we stopped playing all their games
And burning in their flames
We took the life waiting for us
And turned our heads away
Because life's too short to be alone
And lifes to short to stay at home
Or in the same four walls and drone
On and on and on
We've been waiting for the day
Where we can say
"Our hearts were not wasted away"

Brittle bones and charcoal skin
Its perfect lines we're walking in
