lyrics

Wandering around this town
Looking for something that just can't be found
Everything's out of place
I'm just passing through without leaving any trace
It's slowly closing in
As the lights start to dim
They peer out from behind the veil
At me walking down the trail
I packed my problems for the night
To stop the riots in my mind
I someday hope
To find a way to cope
But I wont, no no no
Dealt a hand that I can't fold
My face is straight, my eyes show no sign
It's aces high, and I am low
Now I'm finally good to go
Good to go

Just promise me you'll me find a solid state of mind
Between me and you, there's nothing else to hide
