The Bell

Don't place your bets on me
 I'm tired and I'm only
 With nothing to offer you
 Nothing to offer you
 The pavement stares gray and cold
 Our lives are a story told
 Coming to an ending
 It's coming to an ending
 How could I turn around?
 Face the sound of the bell that shines?
 Ring it out, trim it out
 To drag me back down
 But I'm not coming home
 ♪
 Been out here for so long
 The road just stretches on
 Till I stop pretending
 Till I stop pretending
 But the world is an empty frame
 And now you are just a name
 I'll keep it that way
 It's staying that way
 How could I turn around?
 Face the sound of the bell that shines?
 Ring it out, trim it out
 To drag me back down
 But I'm not coming home
 ♪
 I tried hard to be brave
 I tried hard not to be afraid
 But trying wasn't enough
 I tried hard to be brave
 I tried hard not to be afraid
 But trying wasn't enough
 I'm sorry, I'm sorry
 Can you hear the bell?
 Can you hear the bell?
 The bell, the bell
 Can you hear the bell?
 Can you hear the bell?
 The bell, the bell
 From the rust that lies deep in it's throat
 I hear solemn tones
 The danger, the absent floors
 In the silence of night he lets me know
 That I'm not coming home
