Familiar Company
These tears I cry fall like raindrops on the pavement
I'm wondering, why the treatment, deny my right to be
Abandoned here I'm without hope
And forgotten here I'll lie alone
In familiar company, accompanied by the symphony
A hundred thousand nights I've cried alone
I need to leave before my shadow creeps on me
sucking all my life away, my long-lost joy is diseased
What's it gonna matter once I'm dead and gone
There won't be anyone left to play this lonely man's song
Once again, the Neverwas appears,
Just to rake his ingrained claws against my heart
And then the bell it tolls for I'm finished playing the part
Wondering how I even got here with such an awful start
I'm just trying to think; where did I go wrong
It must have been long.... long, long ago
I'm back again in the old song and dance
It feels dusty and rusted after a term of unuse
These tears I cry fall like raindrops on the pavement
I'm wondering, why the treatment, deny my right to be
Abandoned here I'm without hope
And forgotten here I'll lie alone
In familiar company, accompanied by the symphony
A hundred thousand nights I've cried alone
