Neo Retros - Why Couldn't I Lyrics

You're hopeless, you are lost
The die is cast, the storm has past
Lifeless, marble eyes
Stare ahead with pride

Coldness weighs you down
So take a breath and take a bow
Circles show where you drowned
But I won't be around now

'Cause the puppets and their people say you are mad
Think the criminal among us is the terminally sad they say
That they're willing to help if you're willing to pay
So make a promise and a pledge and we'll soon be ok again, again

As those nights closed
Your eyes froze
But why couldn't I
Start the talking, stop walking?
But why couldn't I?

Fiction of happy days
Where photo'd smiles would never fade
Traces of acid tears
A sadder day's wiped away
