The Hypocrite by The Reticent Lyrics
Promises of tomorrow are the hammering nights of today
Blankly I stare into the void
Hints of dawn sleepily emerge
Wars waged before my eyes
When the darkness dissipates
I will still be without any answers
I can't save you...
I'm too late...
I wade drearily through the guilt and the shame
In a myopic acceptance that there is not atonement
Sleeplessness makes the morning so stark
So frail, so callous
Still I wait
The day star crawls to its peak
And all but sets me aflame
Onе foot in front of the other
And I dutifully wait
You aren't coming
I know that now
Still I wait - for mеaning
Meaning (that) was stolen
And abandoned
The sun never sets
Over this failure
And in that endless noon
No one can forgive me
What should I have said?
The answers never come
The answers refuse to come
Lapsing too are those promises
When the darkness dissipates
I will still be without any answers
I can't save you...
I'm too late...
Blankly I stare into the void
Hints of dawn sleepily emerge
Wars waged before my eyes
When the darkness dissipates
I will still be without any answers
I can't save you...
I'm too late...
I wade drearily through the guilt and the shame
In a myopic acceptance that there is not atonement
Sleeplessness makes the morning so stark
So frail, so callous
Still I wait
The day star crawls to its peak
And all but sets me aflame
Onе foot in front of the other
And I dutifully wait
You aren't coming
I know that now
Still I wait - for mеaning
Meaning (that) was stolen
And abandoned
The sun never sets
Over this failure
And in that endless noon
No one can forgive me
What should I have said?
The answers never come
The answers refuse to come
Lapsing too are those promises
When the darkness dissipates
I will still be without any answers
I can't save you...
I'm too late...
