Joys Too Often Hollow - Daniel Romano, The Outfit

Once upon a time\nIn a spinning wheel of rhyme\nA dream was made and let astray\nIn the void of yesterday\nO! How often times we yearn\nFor a life to soon return\nNever focused on our treason\nOf the ripe arriving season\nO! Joys too often hollow\nToo far-gone for one to follow\nThe purest form of sorrow\nIs disdain for all to-morrow\nOf joys too often wrong\nIn the penning of this song\nOld language laid for one to wait and wallow\nIn joys too often hollow\nWe only let our minds run free\nIn the dust they long to be\nNaked stares of vital shame\nFor ther never comes a day\nTh exaggerated truth\nOf a former fixed in youth\nWith all dog days on the rise\nIn their helpless vacant eyes\nO! Joys too often hollow\nToo far-gone for one to follow\nThe purest form of sorrow\nIs disdain for all to-morrow\nOf joys too often wrong\nIn the penning of this song\nOld language laid for one to wait and wallow\nIn joys too often hollow
