Times Like These

It's nights like this under a harvest moon It came too fast, and it's gone too soon A wilted rose and a frozen tomb A memory for the wind, anyway Has anybody noticed that the sky is falling? Are we all just happy in the rain? Am I the only one who hears the sirens calling? Am I the only one who feels the pain? It's times like these When the sorrow shadows all the laughter Times like these When the hurt goes on and on forever Times like these I wanna fade away I read all the pages from left to right I took one in the morning and one at night A fire still burns, but it's cold inside It's all that I can do, anyway No one wants to talk about the end is coming Pointing fingers, handing out the blame If I gave you answers to all your questions Could you change or would you stay the same? 'Cause it's times like these When left is right and forwards, backwards Times like these When days and nights just roll together Times like these I wanna fade away Fade away Fade away Times like these (These) I wanna fade away (Fade away) In times like these (Like these) Times like these 'Cause it's times like these When the sorrow shadows all the laughter It's times like these When it seems like nothing worse can happen Times like these, it's times like these I wanna fade away It's times like these (Like these) I wanna fade away (Fade away) It's time like these (Like these) In times like these

I wish someone would wake me 'Cause I can't sleep at all Stuck in purgatory Waiting for the fall Auditioned all the endings I find it hard to tell Is it better to serve in heaven Or better to reign in hell?
