Originaly written by Colour In The Clouds

Performed here by Why, Marilyn

lyrics

It'll move like the hands on a clock: crippled with regret,
With bleeding knuckles, and calloused skin,
Still gripping tight to every second,
Never letting me forget.

This cuts just like broken glass,
Anxiety drowns us.
So many sleepless nights;
We don't dream much any more.

I've seen the dreams of my father slip away.
I've seen the scorn in my mother's eyes.

Don't we all love the way it feels when it makes us lose control?
When alcohol consumes the mind and sorrow. (I can't put it down)

Well, here I go again,
I'll re-live these childhood memories as a constant let down,
Just a fucking burden.
Don't leave me with the pain you thought,
A child could replace.

We all carry things in our hearts we won't bear,
Won't let it weigh us down.

Don't we all love the way it feels when it makes us lose control?
When alcohol consumes the mind and sorrow. (I can't put it down)
Sometimes we have such heavy hearts,
Sometimes they weigh us down.
Will we be more than remains of a wasted life? (I can't see myself)

We'll waste our lives.
