Overstayer

(专辑： From Parts Unknown - 2014)

I should have drown in the flood with the rest
I had the chance
The current was pitiless
And proof of man was wiped from the face off the earth, the song, the dance
I should have gone with it

Alas, alas

I'm stranded alone in the wake
Now I have lost all sight of the grave
When did I ever say that I want to be saved?
I can see for miles but it doesn't look the same
When no road has been paved,

Go up
Go up
Go up
Go up

Now how am I gonna get down?

I want a slow death wrought from the dregs
"I want to be sedated'
Just like joey said.
I want the heaviest heart

I have eaten my weight in gold
I can see only what I'm shown up here
But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things love cannot find us

So get out of my way
I got out of my own way
Better a tramp, than a captive
Better alone than lonely with all these "friends"

What in the fuck am I doing here?
Why did the rapture not take me in?
It is my curse to carry on.

I should have died when I was young
I should still be burning lung
If i had known what I'd become

I should have drown in the flood with the rest
I had the chance,
But here I am.
