lyrics

YOU'RE GONNA DIE SOMEDAY

Barlow City Parade
Where the actions speak louder than words
And words that make the scene ignite like gasoline
To burn a quick friend on the side
And you question what does it mean?
As a dark machine steals for your seat
You’ll fight as those who watch will stare and twitch a lot
And take a few bets on the side
Hide?
The situation’s clear :
Convinced you have no reason,
Here you are and still your actions are the same
No matter where you go - what you do - or what you say
A little voice reminds you that you’re gonna die someday!

COLD AND EMPTY

Cold and Empty
I wanna go back home
Home - remember when I felt assured?
When I felt secure
Cold and Worthless
Hey I just don’t belong
Alone - I travel in a circle-line
If I should die...
Maybe
Just maybe I’ll return again
And maybe
Just maybe I’ll reach the spinal end to find I’ve always been...
Cold and Empty
I wanna go back home
Home - I gaze up to see your glow
If you only knew
How I long for you
Home
I wanna go back... (insane, whining ad lib)
