All We've Ever Wanted

from The Art of Living Hand To Mouth by Edward Kildow

/

lyrics

Paper tigers
Building paper gates
Pyrrhic victories
Have sealed our

Fates, but to the last we stand
Undecided on our own demands

It’s a symphony
Of how we inculcate
Our worst enemies
It's how we’ve learn to

Hate, things we see in ourselves, so clear
We hope the answers will just appear

We built a castle in a bonfire
And love it for the flames
It serves us right to suffer
When we’re the ones to blame

It’s all we’ve ever wanted
What a terrible shame

These days we’re living
Too close to the bone
The magic’s fading
The mystery’s

Known, mostly for its saccharine appeal
Ruined now its secrets are revealed

All the voices
Hurrahs of the crowd
Are still echoing
We're going deaf from the

Sound, of our heart’s sullen, lonely cries
Some never even bother asking why

We built a castle in a bonfire
And love it for the flames
It serves us right to suffer
When we’re the ones to blame

It’s all we’ve ever wanted
What a terrible shame
