People’s eyes say I’m no damn good
Shook down and left lonely
Only with the maybe we could
I stay inside cause I’m misunderstood
I can’t get no release
I’m shell shocked from some heavy blows
A stranger to the people I know
Who used to say “he never had a down day”
Now I’m holding on to can’t let goes
And silence brings no peace
Because another life
Went through my window pane
And I don’t know why
I’ve got a will to burn
In attic rooms I just shut my door
For seven weeks or maybe seven more
It’s like I face a seven headed whore
The fight’s knocked out of me
No measure for grief and I can’t find it with the sound
Break down, to the great god of the hand me down
Holding the past around wound up at the lost and found
Where the colors all run to grey
I’m coming out of a down day
Colorized, the city’s plays a double feature today
Life is long and something is wrong
But I want to know what’s going on
In another life
Cause it’s good again
And it will never die
I’ve got a will to burn
To see you again
It’s like another life
It’s like I’ll not get better
Will to burn
Time goes by and I realize, that I’m alright
You thought nothing would be the same
But life comes round again
Quick wits and all curious
All caught up in what you say
And makes me grab the time
Before it slips away
I can’t stay and I cannot wait
And I’m grateful to whistle past a grave yard gate
