Year of the Kite - Distance Lyrics

What turns a man to darkness?
What turns a man to a ghost?
What turns a man to a vampire?
All I know it hurts
Hit the lights we're cursed

I wouldn't say I'm a loser
But there are things I have lost
Just enough to hear the silence
All I know it hurts
Hit the lights we're cursed

Bang the head that doesn't bang
To us all in a broken shire
Turns us all so weak
A plague, a curse. I expire

Why do I turn to distance?
Why I am so old
Do I want forgiveness?
All I know it hurts
Hit the lights we're cursed

What turns a man to dreamland?
Why I see what he could not
We relive the best bits
All I know it hurts
Hit the lights we're cursed
