lyrics

BACKWARD STATES OF SOCIETY


All hell's going to break loose, man
It smells like fire and shade
Somebody put a spell on me
Somehow I still don't understand

I tried to build a fortress
To keep the past outside
You broke those empty walls
And filled my heart with kerosene and fire

And now you say you need me there to take cover

Don't try to kill me now 'cause i'm dead
Don't try to make me feel like I'm deaf
You can't hold on to a prayer when it's over
You can't retake what you break

I'm barely holding on but
This world gets in the way
Tryin' so hard to breathe but
Somehow I'd blow it all away

Don't want to be that dyin man
I won't spit on my own grave
You laugh / I bleed
You made me feel like I'm the man you could save…

Don't try to tell me you need me to take cover


It's all about all the things you said
You needed somebody to play your games
you keep on fallin' but i'm still crawling...
one more time
