The Student Prince Part II: And So To Bed

Each and every one of us, we raise our glass
'Cause we know damn well we're safe
Firing from out of range we're safe
With every piece of shit you eat, you get used to it
You digest it well, why not?
We have become all that we hate.

Let's have your glasses, it's time to leave another Saturday
Get your carry out Chinese consolation prize
So you had a good time and you had a good laugh
Just like the week before
So why is the sadness still upon your eyes?

And what are you trying to say with your life? Who is it you impress?
One day will be now tomorrow, so we can't just rehearse
I can't see how the world will know you, and who would want to?
When you don't try.

Reaching out I hit the bottle, and so to bed...
Reaching out I let the drink talk, and so to bed...

Tired, confused and thoughts that err, you put on a favourite song
And kid yourself like an actor, (that) it holds a special meaning
And lying back in a haze of comfort, you try to work things out
But thoughts so deep for events so small, make a mockery of your life.

And as the music sounds your dreams, you ponder on your life
And merciful sleep will erase your doubts, your suffering and your strife
A new day comes dressed in hangover, last night's dreams are gone forever
Forever, till the next time, you sell your life for pity.

What would you feel now if you looked inside your heart?
Do you fear the things you hide that tear your soul apart?
