Ambition Lyrics

The wheel turns and we spin with it
No help for us who've made our path
We see our fate and never try to fight it
Because it calls us even as it kills
There is no pain like separation
But we embrace it as we should each other
The parting kiss and say goodbye
The long wait grinds like a broken bone

Through the night's pale consolations
A drink too many and a pretty face
I only see your sad eyes shining
The light of a star on a frosty night
Oh, the words come thick and stumbling Stupid, clumsy cliches, all used up
All those phrases speak so slick and easy
They roll like thunder and beat hollow like an empty drum

It's not enough, it's not enough
Too many questions that we dare not answer
And the truth is only something
That we sing for strangers, far away
And yes, we're tired, yes, we're lonely
And as the days crawl by distracted
The grand design seems sham and aimless
But we still play the game because we made it
And wait for the return as best we can
