Quiet Riot

Let me help you keep the sky in your eyes
As you’re out there on your own tonight
The very first steps from death can seem to carry you away
But all is quiet now as they take the breath to lie and say...

“Take a walk around the boulevard
Take charge of your life before we make it ours
Ask yourself how it all became so dark
As you try your best to find out who you really are”

One to the next
The pitch can changed but the voices stay
Believe you’re better off and maybe all this will up and go away
Fall into quiet now as they take the breath to lie and say...

“Trace your steps around the cemetery
Win the bet but with it be wary
We’ve cheated others out with less than scary
But are you scared, don’t tell us, we know...very.”

The battle, then, will rage inside your mind
What’s lost is never lost, what found cannot then find
Red and black and white flags waving as you sway
Breaking the quiet now as you take such breaths to hope and pray...

And I will say this in your plight
Let me help you keep the sky in your tired eyes tonight
