Sorry

Before I say this, please promise me
You'll remain silent in the moment
And act as if you've always known it
Oh, you're not the only one who's all alone
And I'm not saying, "Believe in nothing"
But your God is never coming

And I'm sorry, oh, I'm sorry
Oh, I'm so very sorry
We've lost the war for peace
It's upon us, just as promised
These are the dying days
It's the nature of the beast

There, there, my child, don't you be afraid
There are better ways of coping
Than sleeping with your eyes open
Hurry up and have fun before it's too late
You see, life will soon be perfect
We realize everything is worthless

And I'm sorry, so sorry
Oh, I'm so very sorry
We've lost the war for peace
It's upon us, just as promised
These are the dying days
It's the nature of the beast, mm, mm

Give me a long kiss goodnight
Lay me down to sleep
For I have paid the price
Give me a long kiss goodnight
