Mei – Echolyn – letras

I find myself wishing for a ladderTo climb from this carDid I say I loved you today?Driving over hills and by beaten lonely townsI think of you more now I’m goneOutside it is blue and greenAnd everything once blurred is clearI am part of the peripheral sceneThat shines like cathedral glassThe sun breathes against the windowBut its warmth just fades awayThe humming road whispers lowIt says: sometimes you feel alonecause sometimes you areand hope lies dead upon your shoulderThe signs are passing like ghostsToo late to turn, too late nowToo late when, too late for everythingThe road turns me awayFrom the last light of the dayToo late now, too late whenToo late for everythingWe share more than the endA tragic blend of cocktails with a kissMy love grows anxiousWaiting for the cure – picking soresWe were carelessTo be taken by such miseryThat tastes of violence – the saints are silentGod won’t perform here anymoreMy love is paleA perfect shade of fearBalled up on the floorIn needWe turned away the sunCold, empty, aloneEmbrace the violenceThe saints are silentGod won’t perform here anymoreFade away, far awayI’ve lost all feelingI go and come backLike memories and symptomsThey go and come back forever evermorePart of me remains abandoned in a circleAnd part of me moves onThe wipers move back and forth confessingThe scenes pass through my eyesSlipping through darknessDeeper than oceansThe miles can’t purifyMy dashboard glows cold liquid redThe miles tick on and onRainfall adds to a beat, lamentingWhat’s been said and doneOut here there could be giantsI want to walk in their shadeIntroduce me to a brand new kissHelp me forget my lovePush thru another mile – one more dayCash the promise of escapeOut here I am immortalLive thru meSky has openedSuppose I could ignore the rainShould I listen to all that’s goldenAnd the ghosts of its curseWhat have I done…here I am…live through meLove is right in front of me so appealing – liesWhispers drag meInto this lonely place of miseryWhere flies drown with beauty queensWhere tomorrow goes to dieWhiskey numbs meLove rots in my heartBroken men drink to healTheir sting from a loaded flowerPoet’s eyes of fireBurning holesDrunk on his own wordsSpit to goldPoet’s Vegas smileTwisting necksEverybody’s friendFace to faceWhispers want meTo drag the poet downWhiskey wants meTo give in, give up, give outThere is no lamb, no hopeThere is no garden, no peaceTall proud, stand up loudNation national tradition traditionalAnthem icon march on folk songIn the fields and on the heathI lose strength through joyMothers cry for the fatherlandFathers cry for the motherlandGod is with us, manifest destinyProtect, avenge, remember old gloryDiscipline, adrenalineRevenge old gloryDon’t tread on me, don’t ask whyRight as rain, John WayneJohn Doe, GI Joe, GI JaneHatred twisted into prideFear twisted into obedienceFor the good of the cause, Marshall laws, no quarterI’ll be back, 5 stars, mars, red riversMarkers, stones, bonesLiving days like a sidearmI loved the way I could repayPride has got me by the bootstrapsThe trumpets sounded every dayDid I dream of stars and gardensTended rows crushed flat and deadI saw you fall divine in shadowsBaptized in moonlight turned to redI saw an army ripe ascendingRising as the righteous doThey did love peace as a means to warThey trampled gods they overthrewThere in dust and sweat and powerI saw you drive spike into fleshNow the blood is on your gambleSpilling clean upon your betI hear the road beneath my wheelsSpin and roarSpit my teeth blood and tongueDashboard Jesus on the floorSmoke and glass, twisted steelHard to catch a breathHard to pay from all of thisDevil in my earScratch keeps hummingYour end is not the endYour life is not your lifeYour time is mine to spendTry to climb from all of thisMy hold is weak and spentFeel the ladder slip awayDevil rakes my backSo sorry my loveGave you my everythingMade you my dayBecame a part of meNo more wishing you awayWhere were my kinder wordsWhere were my open armsWhere was my time for youIt was lost on a thousand reasonsAnd even now your heart is open…ready to receiveAnd even now I am forgiven…ready for love againBut my hope is a memory lost in sorrow…ground in the asphaltAnd yet still it is born as new…ready to receiveMy mistake was I learned to see the heads of my shadowDamned in fate fighting them off everydayEndlessly wandering – wonderingIf I died would they leave my sideI crawled from under Mary’s feetInto a pool of disbeliefStaring back at meStronger than ever – foreverSeparate the useless from the greenKeep me safeI would do anything it takesTo feel the sun againI am ready to receiveLove waits like an aging whoreLike a faithful dogLike a convictIn honeysuckle half-lightLove goes and comes againLike junkies and fellowsLike birthdays and salmonInhale inhale exhaleKiss me helloCall me goodbyeMy hope is a coin in a shattered fountainDistortedOut of touchBut shining throughMy fear was a feverThat’s been cooled and forgivenAnd I wait for the morningWhen I come back to you…
