Cyanide

Say, is that rain or are they tears
That stained your concrete face for years?
That crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life

A narrow freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It’s peace at last, oh, peace at last

Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oooooooh, call your name

Suicide? I’ve already died
It’s just the funeral I’ve been waiting for
Cyanide! Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore…

Never Me

How could he know this new dawn’s light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he’s feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He’ll just sail on

How can I be lost
If I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It’s thick and suffocating
This sinking life, outside it’s hell
Inside intoxicating
He’s run aground like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast down with his ship
Fading in the shadows now

A castaway
They’ve all gone away
They’ve gone away

How can I be lost
If I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can’t I forgive me?

Broken, Beat & Scarred

You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Through black days
Through black nights
Through pitch black insides

The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred
But we die hard
