lyrics

All of the loves of my life
Standing up straight in a row before me
I enter through a curtain, its velveteen glow
Was lit up by the candles gently burning below
"Where have you come from?" I ask
"What has brought all of you here today!?"
A glacial response, with silence replete
I turned on my heels, beat a hasty retreat

And I'm not the only one running this way,
Tracking the scent like a hound
No no I'm not the only one running this way,
Keeping my nose to the ground

Chasing with no end in sight
The rush warm blood and delight
A graceful stampede
Of chaos and greed
Through the mausoleum to the end of the night
I reach for the first door I see
I climb to the uppermost flight
I'm covering all my tracks, I just turned out the light
Everything is quiet but I get no respite

And I'm not the only one running this way,
Tracking the scent like a hound
No no I'm not the only one running this way,
Keeping my nose to the ground

I catch myself pausing to look at the reflections that will never be there to keep by side
I catch myself running a finger through the dust that collected while I was away on a ride

I'm not the only one running this way,
Tracking the scent just like a hound
No no I'm not the only one running this way,
Keeping my nose so close to the ground
