Has this mirror of polygons ever seen eyes sadder or more tired than these?

lyrics

a little older, a little bit colder
this city is a hateful beast
every year weighs heavy on my shoulders
what I want, I'm nowhere near

is there anyone else, is there anyone like me
I'm looking for love
here I stand
in the backroom spotlight
still hoping for more
I'm biding my time
some dreams survive these neon nights

dark thoughts spawning waking hours
like shotguns blowing holes in my mind
the child in me was overpowered
I've grown hard and so unkind

is there anyone else, is there anyone like me
I'm looking for love
here I stand
in the backroom spotlight
still hoping for more
I'm biding my time
some dreams survive …

is there anyone else, is there anyone like me
I'm looking for love
here I stand
in the backroom spotlight
still hoping for more
I'm biding my time
some dreams survive these neon nights
