Drinking, drunken thinking - and the failing of forgetting. Alone with mirages of thought, long nights after she's gone - and is drinking somewhere else, with someone else. The party's over.

Lyrics
I'll sail when your red skies are grey
See your face outside again
I'll feel the ice wind blow my eyes down
Frozen in your hand
Feelin' the light run over dark
It so feels like you've got over everything you are
And I will shake my colours blind
To look at you now
Sail away your humble longings
Take the silver bullet and the hurt you left behind
There's no way out this time
It's just you and me on the last line
Teardrops fall behind
On the wreckage and the lies
On the refuge of the dirt
It's empty here inside
When it's open night at hurt
And it's open night at hurt
Well the rains fall down inside
All your mansions made of skin
So please don't watch me hide
When you can run to him
Teardrops fall behind
On the wreckage and the lies
On the refuge of the dirt
It's empty here inside
When it's open night at hurt
And it's open night at hurt
And the bottle's on the bed
And it's all inside my head
There's nothing left you can do or say
Just let it carry me away
Daylight's walkin' all the way home
There's no hope stoppin' here no more
No more shoot it out and no flirt
When it's open night at hurt
And it's open night at hurt
Yeah, It's open night at hurt.
