state laughter living in my memory faint footsteps call to see where the shadows wait and the wretched see from the holes in the wall from the holes in the wall our distant youth like flowers bloom state laughter for all of you but the petals fall the petals fall though now the storm has passed and i believe this cold grey hole and my screams are silenced only silence take it away take it away take it away take it away living in my memory faint footsteps call to see where the shadows wait and the wretched see from the holes in the wall from the holes in the wall those footsteps i do hear and in anguish wait for release my hand to take from this cold grey hole from this cold grey hole take it away take it away take it away take it away
