Lyrics

On the Avenue, the wind blows
through torn clothes and disappears
where there's nothing more
than light shows and death throes
surrounding you
And you thought you were leaving
you were only deceiving yourself again
It's less than survival, these endless revivals
that take you in
On the Avenue,
you're severed forever from who you were
but that other life
though ended still sends you into a dream
every corner she's standing
or waits on a landing to take your hand
another movie you're making where
she won't be taking her part again

You're always one step, just one step away
from the mark
you try not to falter, it's all that you do anymore
Say no to the terrors, no to the sky
but no one listens
always a stranger

On the Avenue, the table's a fable
of solitude
that you reach across, to an empty chair
no one's there seeing you
try to fill in the spaces
with your tattered traces of sanity
It's too much to muster
the world's lost the luster it used to have
On the Avenue, the wasted
are laced with a dying light
It's come for you, to befriend you
and send you to hell again
You sit in a doorway
while making your forays to fantasy
You're coming untethered
your soul is a feather that never lands

You're always one step,
just one step away from the mark
Try not to falter, its all that you do anymore
Say no to the terrors,no to the sky
but no one listens
You're always a stranger
