Read 'em And Weep - Barry Mani [00:00:09]
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say[00:00:19]
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech[00:00:28]
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play[00:00:32]
And I've been dying for hours[00:00:39]
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense[00:00:41]
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away[00:00:48]
I'd like to you all the reasons and what everything meant[00:00:52]
Well I could tell you goodbye or maybe see you around[00:00:59]
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks[00:01:03]
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world[00:01:11]
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks[00:01:15]
And everything's blank[00:01:23]
If I could find the words then I would write it all down[00:01:25]
If I could only find a voice I would speak[00:01:29]
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight[00:01:33]
Come on and look at me and read em and weep[00:01:38]
If I could find the words then I would write it all down[00:01:43]
If I could only find a voice I would speak[00:01:47]
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight[00:01:50]
Come on and look at me and read em and weep[00:01:56]
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up to a scream[00:02:17]
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold[00:02:26]
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream[00:02:30]
And I've been dying for hours[00:02:37]
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense[00:02:40]
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away[00:02:46]
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant[00:02:50]
Well I could tell you goodbye or maybe see you around[00:02:57]
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks[00:03:00]
But now the rooms are all empty the candles are dark[00:03:06]
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks[00:03:10]
And everything's blank[00:03:18]
If I could find the words then I would write it all down[00:03:20]
If I could only find a voice I would speak[00:03:25]
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight[00:03:29]
Come on and look at me and read em and weep[00:03:33]
Oh it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart[00:03:38]
It's running silent and angry and deep[00:03:43]
Oh it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say[00:03:47]
Come on and read em and weep[00:03:52]
Read em and weep for all the hours we'll be spending alone[00:03:54]
Read em and weep for the dreams we'll ignore[00:04:01]
Running silent and deep[00:04:06]
And all those promises we promised to keep[00:04:07]
They won't be kept anymore[00:04:10]
Read em and weep for the magic that our bodies had made[00:04:14]
Read em and weep for the blood that we lost[00:04:20]
Running silent and deep[00:04:22]
And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed[00:04:24]
For whatever the cost[00:04:29]
Read em and weep for the memories still alive in the bed[00:04:32]
Read em and weep for the lies we believed[00:04:38]
Running silent and deep[00:04:42]
And all the things that can never be said[00:04:44]
Why don't you look at me and read em and weep[00:04:46]
Come on and look at me and read em and weep[00:04:51]
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart[00:04:56]
It's running silent and angry and deep[00:05:00]
It's here in my eyes and it's all I can say[00:05:06]
Come on look at me and read em and weep[00:05:11]
