we knew things

Illusions of perfect change
just a little late
this fortune teller
should have been here
last night

Oh we knew some things, we did
as we poured the blood of christ
and christ did we pour our hearts out
laugh about our plights
all of this and so much more
politics stood for its rights
all in a night
we knew some things
didn't we
if it wasn't for the light
we could have stayed
here in the dark
all night

In the bright of day
inspiration lays empty
as sleeping falls
bottles
glasses
the only sparkle on the floor
hit by the morns first light
