Streetlight Manifesto - Forty Days Lyrics

And it's been forty days, I've tried forty ways
You will never quite leave your sins behind
They'll haunt you, taunt you â€~til the day you die

You will never really go
You think about it much but you need to know how the story ends
So you sit around even though you should just go

Tell your friends what you have heard
Show them all the lies unlearned
And when you really go, you will really know
You were never meant for earth

What's it worth?
If we're gonna break it down with any logic
It's absurd

And no matter where we go, we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of why
What a way to begin, we inherit sin
And nobody's gonna quench your thirst when the well runs dry

The well runs dry
And nobody's gonna hold your hand on the day you die

I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in
I knock, knock, knock â€~til my knuckles are bruised and raw
Stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor

We made our beds, we'll judge ourselves
And only then and there will we disappear to our final resting place
What a waste, so many decent people at the gates

And no matter where we go, we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of why
What a way to begin, we inherit sin
And nobody's gonna quench your thirst when the well runs dry

The well runs dry
And nobody's gonna hold your hand on the day you die

And no matter who you know, you will be alone
When the silence turns to cries of why
What a way to begin, we inherit sin
And nobody's gonna quench your thirst when the well runs dry

The well runs dry
And nobody's gonna hold your hand on the day you die
