Only The Dead

(album: Not The End Of The Road - 2022)

Only the dead will be free from sorrow
Only the dead can beat off the pain
Only the dead don't give a damn

On a rollercoaster
Mercy of the wind
Drinking from the holy grail
They try to wash away the sins
Insincere confession
Artificial smiles
Chasing rainbows and the fast buck
But the waters getting high

Can't compete with our destiny
Sooner or later they will see

Only the dead will be free from sorrow
Only the dead can beat off the pain
Only the dead don't give a damn
Only the dead know how fucked up life is
Keeping their smile in this dirty game
Only the dead don't give a damn

Only, I said only
I said only the dead don't give a damn

Bigger better faster
Take the bitter pill
Trying to fill the void of chaos
Getting high on cheaper thrills
You have been there, done that
Waves came crashing in
But what goes around hits harder
You will sink before you swim

Can't compete with our destiny
Sooner or later they will see

Only the dead will be free from sorrow
Only the dead can beat off the pain
Only the dead don't give a damn
Only the dead know how fucked up life is
Keeping their smile in this dirty game
Only the dead don't give a damn

And if I'm six feet underground
I will grin when they let me down
Every angel will sing along
And after climbing up the stairs
I put my feet up on a chair
Next to Ronnie and Curt Cobain
We're chugging the best champagne

Only the dead will be free from sorrow
Only the dead can beat off the pain
Only the dead don't give a damn

I said only, I said only
I said only the dead don't give a damn
I said only, I said only
I said only the dead don't give a damn
