lyrics

Clad in cigarette shades and a faded sense of rage
Stealing secrets from all the true believers, but nothing’s changed
All the guilty parties abandoned ship, but you’re still afraid
And everybody screams that you’re to blame

But you can’t wash off the memories that you’ve sewn
Though the shame you wear is not your own
The triumph and redemption for which you wait
Are coming near
So cast off all that you fear
The winds will shift and take you to your home
You won’t be alone
You won’t be alone

The pleasantries of class are overshadowed by the scars of being shipwrecked
The only light left on the ocean’s the reflection of the moon
There comes a time in the life of every jester he dreams that he’s a hero
If you could’ve left here before you came, it wouldn’t have been too soon

No, you can’t wash off the memories that you’ve sewn
Though the shame you wear is not your own
The triumph and redemption for which you wait
Are coming near
So cast off all that you fear
The winds will shift and take you to your home
You won’t be alone
You won’t be alone
