What you don't understand is where everything's leadingWhen all of the signs you see still point to overloadAs you reach out your hand, a shattered picture's recedingLike tail-lights along that lonesome stretch of broken road'Cause you've been to the past and it's just a reminderA recollection of faces that will never come to callWhen you've cut through the mask, when you've been through the grinderSometimes you forget that you had ever been there at allUp here in room 429Yeah the world ain't so unkindI want to take you to that empty room tonightIn the shadow of doubt, in the crush of an instantStanding in the rain outside my door hand on your knifeWhen you reach a brick wall, there is still a decisionAlways thought if I had to lose I'd surely choose my lifeUp here in room 429Yeah the world ain't so unkindI want to take you to that empty room tonightWe'll tell the world outside the doorThat we ain't never coming back no moreI want to stay in here till we turn off the nightWe're going to stay in here till we turn off the nightTil we turn off the nightCity breathes so softly, everything's sleepingI am at the window silently watchingI can see you standing alone against the winterI can hear you asking but the streets they are not givingDon't look to the ocean, restless in its dreamingDon't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothingIf living is for learning then dying is forgettingOnce we have forgotten then we can go on livingIn a lifetime of hope, in a second of kindnessThere is never a doubt that we are born and die aloneFrom within or without there's no way they can find usWhen they knock at the door the lights are on but we ain't home
