New Addicts-What Keeps Us Here?

Three more funerals Before thirty-one Another winter spent Outrunning everyone The bars are closing The streets are cold We're Surrender now trying to grow old These are the people I've carried for years Not through devotion But mutual fear Another winter counted By empty seats Another year measured In missing friends The peaple keep moving The sadness does too Nobody tells you What loss can do I've known these tragedys Longer than i ever could imagine Every celebration Dragging its years behind it And still We gather beneath endless rain As if repetition Might finally let us go What keeps us here? What keeps us here? What keeps us here? Not hope Not faith Just unfinished conversations A light on the end of the way A voice through the wind The feeling that somebody Might still call What keeps us here? What keeps us here? What keeps us here?
