Still you go on surviving
That’s what you do
A twisted lust for life
Is killing you
The strangled cries of reason
Now drift away
And everyone has gone
But you still stay
When all your dreams lay broken
And it’s all gone sour
The swallowed pride kills you from inside
Do you think you’re the only one
Fall through your blood shot lives
In a cut-throat world
‘Cos in the end it’s always
How can it be so good to be alive
When you’re feeling so dead inside
The shifting sands reveal in me
All the things I don’t wanna be
A hand to mouth existence
Is this your fate
The poison pen has broken
Something changed (something died)
More holes that you can’t mend
When they make a pretence at being your friends
Dead thoughts that feed your rage
Can’t help yourself, but something’s gotta change
