Once I Had Illusions (Part 1)

(album: Long Long Road - 2022)

Sometimes I feel there's no blood in my veins
Sometimes I feel there's no blood in my veins
Sometimes I feel there's no blood in my veins
Poison in my lungs and a wasteland in my brain

Sometimes I feel no ground beneath my feet
Sometimes I feel no ground beneath my feet
Yeah, sometimes I feel no ground beneath my feet
My spirit ain't flying, my spirit's asleep

Sometimes no sky rests on the land
Sometimes no sky rests on the land
Sometimes no sky rests on the land
Got fear in my heart and murder in my hand

Sometimes there's no one to pray to at all
Sometimes there's no one to pray to at all
Sometimes there's no one to pray to at all
It's dark in the kitchen and death in the hall

Sometimes I wonder what will become of me
Sometimes I wonder what will become of me
Sometimes I wonder what will become of me
There's no one, and nothing can set me free
No, no

And I feel livid, feel like I could crawl
At night I feel livid, feel like I could crawl
One night [?], feel like I could crawl
Come now baby hold me, don't let me fall
There's no one, and nothing can help you

There's dead men hanging on every tree
There's dead men hanging on every tree
Oh, the dead men hanging on every tree
And you know that they all look a lot like me, oh
