lyrics

I will pay for what I have done

feels like the same thing, I sit here waiting
I’m tired of fighting to stay alive, I just want to run and hide

I’m tired of fighting to stay alive, I’m tired of fighting to stay alive
nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

all I feel is misery, why can’t life just let me be
but it goes on and on, it’s getting loud, it’s getting strong

I’m tired of fighting to stay alive, I’m tired of fighting to stay alive
nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

I’ve got no strings to leave in my heart
the rain has forgotten the last untold ride
and now the beginning of no ones delight

all’s lost within me, there’s nothing but sorrow
all around the world is dying, there is no tomorrow

I’m tired of fighting to stay alive, I’m tired of fighting to stay alive
I can’t live, I can’t die. I can’t live, I can’t die.

Mercy on all our souls, we can’t do what we are told
but it goes on and on, it’s what it is, it’s what is wrong

I’m tired of fighting to stay alive, I’m tired of fighting to stay alive
I can’t live, I can’t die. I can’t live, I can’t die.

present retching, sounds best of treasuring

now we pay for what we’ve done

all’s lost within me, there’s nothing but sorrow
all’s lost within me, there’s nothing but sorrow
there’s nothing but sorrow
