The Albatross Has Flown
Try to purge the unbearable
And delete the indelible
Got to blank, all the pain
The spectres of the past
And dismantle the places
Brutal years that passed
Memories kind of fade
Into distorted dreams
A collage of the macabre
And nothing as it seems
Questions never answered
And problems left undone
Riddles keep on dancing round your head
Demons having fun
But the truth is kinder
And the past moved on
Those things can't hurt you anymore
The albatross has flown
Verse 3
Things just weren't as they seemed
Those devils had no horns
Hills loomed up like mountains up ahead
And rains turned into storms
Faint hearts forever waiting
At the back of the queue
We get smart we stop the hating
A great escape came true
Try to purge the unbearable
And delete the indelible
But the truth is kinder
And the past moved on
Those things can't hurt you anymore
The albatross has flown
Hindsight offers comfort
Tears that come from relief
The light beyond the self-loathing
The hidden soul underneath
Faint hearts forever waiting
At the back of the queue
We get smart we stop the hating
A great escape came true
Try to purge the unbearable
And delete the indelible
And delete the indelible
Got to blank, all the pain
The spectres of the past
And dismantle the places
Brutal years that passed
Memories kind of fade
Into distorted dreams
A collage of the macabre
And nothing as it seems
Questions never answered
And problems left undone
Riddles keep on dancing round your head
Demons having fun
But the truth is kinder
And the past moved on
Those things can't hurt you anymore
The albatross has flown
Verse 3
Things just weren't as they seemed
Those devils had no horns
Hills loomed up like mountains up ahead
And rains turned into storms
Faint hearts forever waiting
At the back of the queue
We get smart we stop the hating
A great escape came true
Try to purge the unbearable
And delete the indelible
But the truth is kinder
And the past moved on
Those things can't hurt you anymore
The albatross has flown
Hindsight offers comfort
Tears that come from relief
The light beyond the self-loathing
The hidden soul underneath
Faint hearts forever waiting
At the back of the queue
We get smart we stop the hating
A great escape came true
Try to purge the unbearable
And delete the indelible
