If All Else Fails - The Institution

That unheard call
Those narrow walls
Walked a man who knew his fate yet would not show it on his face
Stiff upper lip
His final trip
Would not give til' unconsciously his past of fun had sold his life away
I will show you what you need to live
Though you're not here
I am strong
People live their lives so carefree
Never knowing til' it's gone ...All of you
That acute smell He knew it well
The reek of an institution filled with sterile personalities I walked right in
Unknowing grin
Not returned for the simple fact in the future he would not be able to see me I...
won't let him die, in me he'll be alive I...
can't see this through,
how much of this can ever be true I...
won't live this way, here I'll stay I...
can hardly see,
without him,
for him I'll strive to be
