"Meaningless Names" lyrics

Counting days with each cell door creak
I know the number of every chain link
Grieving walls draw near to mind
The deafening hush of waiting to die

Hold fast to hope of another day
Hold fast; it can't last forever
The meaningless names of far off places
I have to believe something better awaits

I sense a waste in every exhale
Breath escapes iron bar and nail
Forgotten silence condemned
Darkness as my only friend

But hold fast to hope of another day
Hold fast; it can't last forever
The meaningless names of far off places
I have to believe something better awaits
I have to believe something better awaits

I am waiting to die among a swarm of flies
Every day is a lifetime in chains
Every day

Hold fast to hope of another day
Hold fast; it can't last forever
In meaningless names of far off places
I have to believe something better awaits

Hold fast to hope of another day
Hold fast; it can't last forever
In meaningless names of far off places
I have to believe something better awaits
I have to believe
I have to believe
