[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
I have never felt so fucking numb.
In front of the mirror with a loaded gun.
Every word you read is stained in blood.
This gets sick cause I’m mind-fucked.1
I’ve died and my body turned to rust.
An empty carcass left to rot back to dust.2
Like a casket in a shallow grave
Out of sight, but I promise it will never go away.3
These words may sound all the same.
I have bled to death on every page.4
Watch as my heart turns to stone.
Watch me die without hope.5
I don’t want to break your heart with mine.
Everything I know about life is a lie.6
This is what I feared the most.
Wanting love but chasing ghosts.7
And it won’t matter when I forget your name.
You know exactly what I am, and you know I love the pain.8
Remember my words but forget my face.
Every fucking scar screams your name.9
Remember my words but forget my face.
Every fucking scar screams your name.
[2x]
And it won’t matter when I forget your name.
You know exactly what I am, and you know I love the pain.
Remember my words but forget my face.
Every fucking scar screams your name.
I have never felt so fucking numb.
In front of the mirror with a loaded gun.
Every word you read is stained in blood.
This gets sick cause I’m mind-fucked
These words may sound all the same,
I have bled to death on every page.
Watch as my heart turns to stone.
Watch me die without hope.
Watch as my heart turns to stone.
Watch me die without hope.
And it won’t matter when I forget your name.
You know exactly what I am, and you know I love the pain.
Remember my words but forget my face.
Every fucking scar screams your name.10
