Comrades

Did you drop your torch in the dark?
The lights went out
You scraped along the wall to find the door

Did you fall from the pavement, again?
You woke up screaming
Alone, and covered in sweat

Where are your comrades, now?
They must be lost
Where are your comrades, now?

Could you buy the opulence
Of peers and promises?
Wise not to wait

In the haze of the moment, they said
"He was all about the morals"
And swiftly sent humility to bed

And even thouh they're all liars and thieves
Your own act of contrition
Was deemed to be enough to cut you free

Where are your comrades, now?
They must be fools
Where are your comrades, now?

Could you buy the opulence
Of peers and promises
Dusted on their face?

Was your sinking ship quickly hemorrhaging rats
All the way down?
Were you disconnected, when a common sap
Showed you that it's such a cruel world?
Head-pausing refrain!

Did you think that if that's the way they played
When all is said and done
You're better off without them, anyway...?
