Testo Anything But Concrete And Gray

I see the boxcars and the trains all running down the tracks
the seconds slip through into minutes never coming back
and all those people that i knew who slipped right through the cracks
just left me bitter and confused but all nostalgiac
but no one ever got as close to me as you did
i do not think no one has ever dreamed so lucid

but you used it all to pretend, and i lost it all
just let me win
let the tempests and the bedpost fires fall again
let the greenest grass bloom forth and let the fragrance in
let the sweetest water roll right off my tongue again
unleash the lions and the tigers and the bears within
just do it for me one more time so i can take it in,
now do it for me one more time...because

you lose it all in the end.

another day starts growing dim
another life starts setting in
burning bright but you don't quite
know where to begin you don't know where because...

you lose it all in the end.
you lose it all...
