Flatley's Crutch

(album: Second Skin - 2001)

Wide awake it's six a.m.
And you've got heavy eyes
From heavy burdens
Of a loss so loud
You never sleep
And you ask the gods
For their mercy

Let it go, let it fade
'Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't run away

Looking up from below
Afraid you'll suffocate
In the undertow
And you're desperate
As you've ever been
So be careful now and
Don't you start caving in

Let it go, let it fade
'Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't you run away
Don't you run away

Damn this situation
Your hero is a bottle
And a line salvation
The world stripped
Your callous skin
And you're fucked up
All the time
Worn heart
Weak and tender
Is bruised and bleeds
And you wanna surrender
That's no excuse for you
To go run away and hide

Damn this situation
Get off your fucking ass
If you wanna save it
Or sit and rot away if you
Don't want to survive

Let it go, let it fade
'Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't you run away
Don't you run away, no

Don't you run away
Don't you run away
