Daniel Bergstrand - Room 429 lyrics

What you don't understand Is where everything's leading When all of the signs you see still point to overload As you reach out your hand A shattered vision's receding Like daylights along that lonesome stretch of broken road 'Cause you've been to the past And it's just a reminder A recollection of faces that will never come to call When you've cut through the mask When you've been through the grinder Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all Up here in Room 429 The world ain't so unkind I wanna take you to that empty room tonight In the shadow of doubt In the crush of an instant Standing in the rain outside your door, hand on my knife When you reach a brick wall There is still a decision Always thought if I had to lose I'd surely take you all Up here in Room 429 In a world that's so unkind I wanna take you to that empty room tonight We'll tell the world outside the door That we ain't never coming back no more We're gonna stay in here 'till we turn out the night The city breathes so softly Everything is sleeping I am at the window silently watching I can see you standing Alone against the winter I can hear you asking, but the streets, they are not giving Don't look to the ocean Restless in its dreaming Don't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing If living is for learning Then dying is forgetting Once we have forgotten then we can go on loving In a lifetime of hope In a second of kindness There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone From within or without There's no way they can find us When they knock at the door, the lights are on, but we ain't home Up here in Room 429 The world ain't so unkind I wanna take you to that empty room tonight We'll tell the world outside the door That we ain't never coming back no more We're gonna stay in here 'till we turn out the night
