22 (Fading Faith)

lyrics

Excuse me, I'm falling faster than hope
Faster than secrecy, too fast to cope
Falling down and filling up these useless, empty years
Fill another grimoire with the memoirs of my tears

All in all, it's all been fun
Said and done, sad and dumb
A sudden kingdom of Papa's ash
A party crashing throne for one

The sire opens his jaded heart
To soon to finish, too late to start
Too familiar to my fading faith
To foreign for me to see it safe

All in all, it's all been fun
Said and done, sad and dumb
A sudden kingdom of Papa's ash
A party crashing throne for one

St John, this seems so familiar, and yet, there are so many differences in today's story that I can barely whisper in the rain.
A pox on both mice and men.
It's all afire again.

All in all, it's all been fun
Said and done, sad and dumb
A sudden kingdom of Papa's ash
A party crashing throne for one

Luck needs a lady
Misery needs a friend
Nature hates a vacuum
World without end

about

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
