Sleepless and endless night

Are you living alone

Or with an unholy host

Of epigenetic ghosts?

So many doors with rusted locks

And they will all stay closed

Staggering down the hall

As they change the shape of the walls

Go only where allowed

Here in your haunted house

Take the spiral ladder down

Til you're lost or found

Or just start over again

In the haze of the civil twilight

In roles we’ll re-write to the end

But that's no way to live your life

Echoing over you

Never fading to black

Inexplicable appetites

Ancestral parasites

Bait you and gently bite

With their wrong and right

The price of their paradise

A glimpse, can you get it back

History's not in the ground

It’s in your bloodstream, flowing round

Bleeds through like sound on sound

Or just start over again

In the haze of the civil twilight

In roles we'll re-write to the end

But that's no way to live your life

Can you see the end of never never again?

Fall back into the fold

Can you see the end of never never again?

You were born for the role

Can you see the end of never never again?

Fall back into the fold

Can you see the end of never never again?

You'll never see the end of never never again (Internal, external)

(Fall back into the fold)

You'll never see the end of never never again (Eternal, returning)

(You were born for the role)

You'll never see the end of never never again (Internal, external)

(Fall back into the fold)

You'll never see the end of never never again (Keeps turning and turning)

Or just start over again

In the haze of the civil twilight

In roles we'll re-write to the end

But that’s no way to live your life
