These walls are thick with remorse
Thinking of all doors Ive closed
Vivid dreams like movie scenes
Vanishing like raindrops into sea Once made a plan of hit and run
Big cash, big dreams, big everything
Bought a gun and stole a car
But crashed so my plans never got far Chorus:
Done too many things
I cant undo
Now the judge says
My time is due
Im a man of constant sorrow
Got only yesterdays, no tomorrows If time was a possession to own
Would hold it and never let go
My lifes a river drying out
A fading shadow in the night Chorus: repeat Bridge:
Im a man
Who as a boy didnt see
Those yesterdays
Were all up to me
Guess the taste
Of fists and biting whips
Failed to bring
Out the best in me Chorus: repeat Gospel of a fool
Lyric: I dont wanne fall like soldiers
Dont wanne be something in the news
I wanne play like careless children
Like I used to do with you I wanne sleep beneath the willows
And focus on something good
Only wanne bridge the distance
That lingers between me and you Pre-chorus:
Its been said before but I say it again;
Silence can be a deadly weapon or a friend Chorus:
See them bullets fly like words
Words that hold no meaning
Words that bears no truth
Words that break all rules
Like a gospel of a fool Dont wanne be just a shadow
Wanne be strong, free and true
Cant stand to see us lose all meaning
Like everyone else seems to do Pre-chorus:
Its been said before but I say it again;
Same beginnings can have different ends Chorus:
See them bullets fly like words
Words that hold no meaning
Words that bears no truth
Words that break all rules
Like a gospel of a fool Bridge:
If we could see were pieces of one puzzle
Where everyone belong
Wed find smoother ways to reach each other
Like rhymes in a song Chorus:
See them bullets fly like words
Words that hold no meaning
Words that bears no truth
Words that break all rules
Like a gospel of a fool
