A Gun in the First Act-Thursday

[00:00.46]Thursday - "A Gun In The First Act" [00:23.89]. [00:36.58]I saw you standing with a broken cigarette out in the rain. [00:42.11]I guess all our lives are a little less than they seem. [00:46.36]Now you're praying to the memory of a god you used to love [00:50.88]A reminder of his death hanging low around your neck [00:57.70]Do you find sleep comes easy? [01:02.39]. [01:14.52]Dancing with the empty silhouette of everything [01:18.83]Our waking lives are just the dreams of our dreams. [01:23.21]Standing in the city asking what it's all for but [01:28.14]There's nothing in this world [01:29.83]that giving meaning makes it more: [01:32.51] [01:50.06]The louder the ring, the less the thing. [01:59.25]The louder the ring, the less the thing. [02:06.08]. [02:09.33]When we see black clouds coming over our heads, [02:14.45]over our heads, [02:16.76]Then we know where it's ending [02:19.14]A loaded gun hanging over our heads... [02:23.57]We already know the way it ends. [02:29.89]. [02:46.58]Screaming from a stage or at a pay-phone in the rain [02:51.46]Trying to find the words I always think I need to say. [02:55.97]Please, bring it back to the moment before you left [03:00.90]I never felt the sting. [03:03.72]The louder the ring, the less the thing. [03:13.25]The louder the ring, the less the thing. [03:21.06]. [03:23.13]When we see black clouds coming over our heads, [03:27.68]over our heads, [03:30.06]Then we know where it's ending [03:32.57]A loaded gun hanging over our heads... [03:36.89]We already know the way it ends. [03:43.28]. [03:45.09]Break, break, break it down [03:49.53]Back to the way that it was before [04:00.80]When symbols weren't just loaded guns [04:05.42]And black clouds weren't just metaphors [04:09.80]Bring, bring, bring it back [04:11.92]Back to the way that it was before: [04:14.36]Empty all the loaded guns and bury all the metaphors. [04:18.74].
