A downward spiral
Drowning in denial
You're gonna pass the point of no return
In danger again
Racing toward a bitter end
And maybe only then will you learn
Long Gone, laughing along
No one is singing your song
Fast asleep till slowly you wake
You don't have a heart
Until you feel it break
In shades of gray
Waiting for the day
You're gonna see no reason to go on
In deep despair
Reaching, finding no one there
And nobody to care when you're gone
Long Gone, laughing along
No one is singing your song
Hard you fall and lonely you rise
You'll never know peace
Until you close your eyes
When every day
Keeps spinning out of hand
In every way
Slipping like the sands of time
Neglected
Rejected down the line
When all your chances
Dwindle down to none
With all your plans
Leaving only one way out
Don't take it
You'll make it through somehow
Long Gone, laughing along
Go on - keep singing your song
Straight ahead, step into the light
You'll see for yourself
That everything's all right
