INTRO
 -  -  -   2x

VERSE

   
An experimental phase
         
That you couldn't get away from
                             
Your open minded ways did you in
     
Your shepherd's broken staff

Should have been your warning
                                          
But you were moving way too fast to notice it

CHORUS

           
This is a tragedy
         
This is loneliness
                                            
Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself?
        
Do you still believe
          
You will find a way
                                    
To make your life mean something and stay?

VERSE


Were you afraid that you

Would not have a story?
                                      
Were you afraid that you would have no pain?
     
This is your private war
       
Where you get all the glory
                                       
If you beat the odds to wake and rise again

CHORUS

           
This is a tragedy
         
This is loneliness
                                            
Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself?
        
Do you still believe
          
You will find a way
                                    
To make your life mean something and stay?

BRIDGE

                
I'm sure that you know this 
                          
Meanwhile, I wish you would say
                   
'On and on I'm holding on to that
          
Which has betrayed'

CHORUS
            
           
This is a tragedy
         
This is loneliness
                                            
Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself?
        
Do you still believe
          
You will find a way
                                    
To make your life mean something and stay?
