"Near Rockaway" Lyrics

Stained glass,
A crimson altar,
This is the life we get,
Take a look, I guarantee you'll decide this is wrong,
This is only in my head,
Change the subject, crack a smile,
While the children all end up dead,

Overlooking the signs, overlooking the signs,
As we all fall, one by one,
I will never pretend, I will never pretend that all this shit isn't happening,
God knows that this is not our fault,

A little girl screams in horror,
His blood trickles down her face,
Innocence fades out through her eyes, she's been wronged,
Caught in a daze of blinding denial,
This is only in my head,
Change the subject, crack a smile,
Can't you see that there is something wrong?

Ride out, right now,
Run away as fast as you can,

The chalice is overflowing,
As he drops it from his hands,
The stained glass is fucking shattered,

There'll be no blessings in this confession...
