Cradle to Grave

Cradle to Grave


I have tried to replace anger 
With complacency and boredom 
And the will of a wiser man 
And I have tried to replace hunger 
With satisfied and complete 
And a constant fucking rut 

I have tried to replace instinct 
With pondering and intellect 
And the prisons of patience 
And I have tried to replace passion 
With devotion and protection 
And too much of not enough 

Years from now when all my regret 
Washes upon the very shores 
That I thought long forgotten 
I will know that my tragedies 
Have fallen on deaf ears, closed minds 
Dead souls, sewn eyes, cold hearts 

When I feel this motherfucking rage 
Kept undercover, I force it all down 
But it's rising inside again 
And changing my mind again, I force it all out 
When it's pushing my weight again 
And tempting my fate again, I force it all down 
When it's dreaming of foreign shelters 
And dreaming of when it felt you 
I let it all out 
I drift above, below and in and out 
As the sun goes down 
Nothing's ever going to change me 

Daylight is bought and sold 
Daylight is bought and sold 
Daylight is bought and sold 
Daylight is bought and sold
