There is a balance that has been upset
We've suffered a loss that we need to address
You dwell in the gutter with your head in the sky
Never stop playing your nightmare lullabies
The callouses on the tips of your fingers
A symptom of playing
6 steel strings forever
The face of a friend will remain hidden
Behind a veil and you wish
You could see them one last time
And just say goodbye...

It's good to have known you
But I don't believe
We're gonna see you on the other side
So goodbye
And I hope I am wrong
I hope I am wrong
But you can't change facts with hope alone
So goodbye

And you can't be replaced
With somebody who cares
I can still hear your voice
But there's nobody there
The stage is empty
And I am a try-hard
Yes I am a try-hard
Not trying hard enough
Becoming a victim of noise abatement
We must move it downstairs
Into the basement
Our enemies faces
Will remain hidden
And they don't believe in direct action
No they don't believe in direct action

So goodbye
But I don't believe
We're gonna see you on the other side
So goodbye
And I hope I am wrong
I hope I am wrong
But you can't change facts with hope alone
I know cos I've tried
It's good to have known you
But I don't believe
We're gonna see you on the other side
So goodbye
And I hope I am wrong
I hope I am wrong
But you can't change facts with hope alone
So goodbye
