Words can’t describe
These feelings I’m having tonight
I’m broken hearted
Torn up inside
My mind is keeping me locked up tight
Money’s good and looks are grand
But chivalry is almost dead
What happened to the men of dreams?
Are they only in Disneyland?
Looked but will I ever find
A large enough plug for the hole inside
Hope and fear are lying on their backs
Just waiting for the next attack
They say the truth will set you free
But am strong enough to see
The real methods behind the madness at hand
At times like these is wish I was in Neverland
I’m down to my very end
Having burned away in the wanted land
I’d feel better if I curled up tight
But no, comfort is not there for me tonight.
