Andy Jackson - Drownings lyrics

[Verse 1] November cold, funeral grey No flowers, light the day There she stands unloved and widowed Unmoved and withered, she prays Duty came to bare Or she wouldn't had invited him All go together there Who loves, who really hated him? She just wanted to make sure the bugger was dead Then she turned her back with the flick of her head Never to go back again Never to feel the pain [Verse 2] I've lived inside a box Every day a little bit tighter And all the bad would stop If every day I was a little bit quieter Any port in a stroll No anchor in a plagued town And all kept me warm Overboard and drowned I just wanted to make sure the peace was kept But you turned your back as I silently wept The best years of my life Waiting for you to be kind Alone, alone, alone Nothing to add, alone Alone, alone, alone No one to add, alone She cried a single tear Held back through the years She cursed the man who tormented her Leaving her alone [Verse 3] As we stand on the crossroads to a far away place Of heaven, of choices we make Take my hand and I'll lead you astray Or off the world, [?] plate When the times come When the chickens come home to roost Who would be resolute? And who would desert their post? [Verse 4] So tired [?] I'll teach you to believe one day If you can't exempt the web that I spin I'll employ you, destroy you, whatever it takes And when you realize it was your fault in the first place But doubting my eyes, I deceive me, you believed me It makes me feel strong I'm vindicated of my [?] [Verse 5] You can't know what it's like to hate To hate the mirror, the face that stares That failed by being afraid Because failure's too much to bear To be one step ahead But the noise of the fearless It's all that's in my head It drowns the stillness I just want you to look at me without [?] It could set me free of this animal's prison Never to go back again Never to feel the pain [Verse 6] Alone, alone, alone Nothing to add, alone Alone, alone, alone No one to add, alone And he cried a solid tear Each brown through the years And cursed the guard who forsaken him Leaving him alone [Verse 7] My life is almost gone Pray God, may I have another one, please? I'm just a child trapped and he's very afraid One more chance, let me start again
