You Can't Rely

(album: Together We Are Stronger - 2017)

Why can't you relax?
I'm staring at your faded photographs
And asking why I've wasted all this time
On nothing but an empty fucking lie

God help me 'cause I know I'm overrun
With these fears I've overcome
And it's clear what time has done
Yet I stare blankly at you screaming "save me"

My body is broken
The Devil's arms around me
'Cause these angels they don't love me
They want their pound of flesh
Once needed, now rejected
You've heard the same old story
You can't rely on someone else

Give it all you've got
I need it 'cause I feel like I've been shot
Between the teeth and nails and darkest thoughts
There lies an animal behind these scars

Take a look what I've become
Not a lover nor a son
Never needed anyone
And now I feel like I am slowly dying

My body is broken
The Devil's arms around me
'Cause these angels they don't love me
They want their pound of flesh
Once needed, now rejected
You've heard the same old story
You can't rely on someone else, yeah

My body is broken
My body is broken
My body is broken
My body is broken

My body is broken
The Devil's arms around me
My body is broken
Oh Jesus (Someone save me)

My body is broken
The Devil's arms around me
'Cause these angels they don't love me
They want their pound of flesh
Once needed, now rejected
You've heard the same old story
You can't rely on someone else
You can't rely on someone else
You can't rely on someone else
