They dance all night
And sleep all day
They live for nothing
but this escape

Too bad they can't say at the break of the dawn that the night was a dream
Yet nobody can say at the rise of the sun that it was what it seemed

I know I've swallowed it all
but I could never be full
and now they call me a fool for leaving

They drink all night
and ache all day

Too bad they can't say at the break of the dawn that the night was a dream
Yet nobody can say at the rise of the sun that it was what it seemed

I know they've swallowed it all
and they could never be full
and now they call me a fool for leaving?

home with you
alone with you

Now I'm leaving
Now I'm leaving

So when all those who are convinced there's nothing but this
Come to us and condescend we know we won't miss emptiness

Too bad they can't say at the break of the dawn that the night was a dream
Yet nobody can say at the rise of the sun that it was what it seemed

Decadence. It is inviting as it is alluring. And as unlitmately empty as it is temporarily thrilling. This is a goodbye song to the party, the dance, written from the perspective of one who has tasted at all (much like Solomon), and found no meaning in any of it beyond the fact that truth is not found in decadence, but in relationship with above...
