Lyrics
I went on the search for something true.
I was almost there when I found you.
Sooner than my fate was wrote
A perfect blade, it slit my throat
And beads of lust released into the air.
When I awoke you were standing there.
I was on the mend when I fell through.
The sky around was anything but blue.
I found as I regained my feet
A wound across my memory
That no amount of stitches would repair.
But I awoke and you were standing there.
There's no fortune at the end of the road that has no end.
There's no returning to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them.
There's no falling back sleep
Once you've wakened from the dream
Now I'm rested and I'm ready,
I'm rested and I'm ready to begin
I went on the search for something real.
Traded what I know for how I feel.
But the ceiling and the walls collapsed
Upon the darkness I was trapped
And as the last of breath was drawn from me
The light broke in and brought me to my feet.
There's no fortune at the end of the road that has no end.
There's no returning to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them.
There's no falling back to sleep
Once you've wakened from the dream.
Now I'm rested and I'm ready to began
I'm rested and I'm ready to began

Scott's extra verse in the Demo version on the Carpenter Box Set Demo CD:
If I could only be the man that I was
The kind his friends and family could trust
But it’s not me that change that much
Its folk back home that all lost touch
Afraid of what the skeletons would say
All more reason for me to slip away
