Lyrics Meaningless - Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks

Meaningless

Once I was wicked and filled up with rage
But now I’m just tired and gray
It all was a joke and I laughed in your face
It’s not so funny today
It’s not so funny today
Stand by the window and cover your eyes
I don’t want you seeing me age
Every story it must end it tears
When you reach the final page
We have reached the final page
Is everything as meaningless as it seems?
I hope not but I fear it is
Oh honey I fear it is
Never before had I missed someone close
As much as I missed you that night
My heart it was cold and dead in my chest
You cursed it and brought it to life
You brought the monster to life
The secrets I’ve learned in this solitude
I’ll take with me to the grave
I hope that you know I loved you the best
Though I treated you just like a slave
Though you were just a slave
Is everything as meaningless as it seems?
I hope not but I fear it is
Oh honey I fear it is
It’s hard to believe but long, long ago
I was not bitter or blue
I walked in the light, I slept through the night
It’s strange but I swear it is true
It’s strange but it is true
Look I am holding the head of a snake
And walking alone down the road
This is a moment I’ll never forget
It’ll cheer me when I’m useless and old
It’ll cheer me when I am old
Is everything as meaningless as it seems?
I hope not but I fear it is
Oh honey I know it is
