The Argument

Drama preset on a stage
I thought you knew but what it is I can't say
Bittersweet is what it is
A homily to a better life

I took the bad news in my stride
Too late to care too proud to cry
I found as good as I can give
Wounded, entrenched, some life I live

It's what you are
I've been here before

So walk on old man
Walk on while you sleep
For mankind's final fall
And your own eternal sleep

Walk on into the bright light
A new day, another day
Another day for you to try
Remember at the end, you and me, we all die

It's what we are
I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before

Drama preset on a stage
I thought you knew but what it is I can't say
Bitterness is what it is
A homily to a better life

I took the bad news in my stride
Too late to care too proud to cry
I found as good as I can give
Wounded, entrenched, some life I live

Petty jealousy that's led to betrayal
Enough to drive final nails
So walk on, walk on old man
Walk on while you can

It's what you were

I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before

Bitterness is what it is
A homily to a better life
I took the bad news in my stride
Too late to care, too proud to cry
I found as good as I can give
Wounded, entrenched, some life I live

It's what I am

I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before

So walk on old man
Walk on while you weep
For mankind's final fall
And your own eternal sleep

Walk on into the bright light
A new day, another day
Another day for you to try
Remember in the end, you and me, we all die
