Chasing Charles Atlas

If I could believe in something
Don't you think I'd try?
If I were a man of faith, wouldn't I, wouldn't I?

But it won't reappear the taste for life
That was so abundant in past years

Standing at the gates of memory
A palace built of lies
Permanently barred from
Entering the same each time

So it won't reappear
The taste for life
That was so abundant in past years

Help me find a line to this source
That was so abundant in past years
Help me find a line to this source
That was so abundant in past

Years, I know now I've misused

Voices foreign hover in place
Echoes of lost seasons escape
I replay desperately these
Fragments of a truth
To renew

If you could control the faucet
Of sanity that blinds
Would you face the gaping maw
To resuscitate your vital signs?

When it won't reappear
The taste for life
That was so abundant in past years

Help me find a line to this source
That was so abundant in past years
Help me find a line to this source
That was so abundant in past

Years I know now I've misused

Voices foreign hover in place
Echoes of lost seasons escape
I replay desperately these
Fragments of a truth to renew

The memories will fade
While the details degrade
And the dream now overcast
Belladonna-alcohol
Until then there's no relief
Face down in a pool of hurt
Crying "help me"
Pathetic and out of control
Endlessly wanting
