Sick with regret you sputter out    Your flame swallowed in doubt    Light the cigarette and take a breath,    the smoke inflates your chest and thins your blood    so you bleed less inside    Left with the mess that came about    when you chose to live without out    on foreign shores you fight or die    life's thrown before your eyes and leaves it's toll    on your calloused empty soul       How long, how long will we be desperately alone,    how long, how long?    How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done,    how long, how long?       "What we would give to feel alive!"    Through the fog a muffled cry,    "The anchor's lost and so am I,"    We fall victims to the tide    I'm free to drift and free to die on my terms now       How long, how long will we be desperately alone,    how long, how long?    How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done,    how long, how long?       Sick with regret you sputter out
