Legend Of The Fall

(álbum: The Things We Can't Forgive - 2021)

Out of everybody you were who I hated most
A fucking grown man who's afraid of ghosts
All those secrets you could only find a way to cloak
All that venom laced in everything you'd say to folks
Drinking and laughing with that pathetic parade of jokes
Great insults for a guy sitting with a plate of coke
With a wife and kid at home how could you betray em both
For these stupid whores where's your loyalty you made an oath oh
Look at the results of a lost soul sowing his oats
In a sea full of fucking sharks rowing his boat
With a hole in it plus it's dark, you ain't got nowhere to go and so
You threw away every gift you had
For another bag another fifth two a day
Sad all those opportunities that you had
People would kill for you threw in the trash
Low self esteem they misconstrue it as brash
Your old selfish dream and that ruinous wrath
That chews you in half day to day on a regular basis
And you just run the other way whenever you face this fact
And I'm getting so sick of your face in the mirror
There no place where it's clearer than there
I'm going zero to here in an instant running on instinct
Can't get your dreams and your nightmares in sync

Those ghosts talk to me in my head
Yeah they're still there, no they're not dead
And there was so much blood to be shed
But I could never kill them all
Prayers for rain to wash away
But no heaven never calls
We stay trapped in yesterday
And that's the legend of the fall

Taking a look at you is difficult
A creature in his cups is ugly
Too high to keep
Reaching for the stuff unlovely
Off the hinges, out on the fringes
Outsider out for revenge and vengeance
The war never ends
It spins in the winds and trenches
Sensing the bloodshed
It begins and it ends with
Regrets you had had
Too many things to mention
And those ghosts of the past are a grim contingent
But what's fueling the engine
There's no fooling/pretending
No principles among this
Hard knock school we're attending
You're willing to partake
In any rule that you bending
This land of the heartbreak
Where nobody remembers ya name
Unless you king or menace the same
Between heaven and hell
I had seen your pendulum swang
Watched the hope float away
In ten inches of rain
So is it dope show today
Or penances and pain
Yeah I seen it all
Everything you ever been through
It all happened how it's supposed to
It was all essential
All the things that you endured
The bottom you descent to
It's time to let go of that past
Stop being sentimental
So I forgive you for all the shit
That you lived through
For all the shit that was done to you
Everything that you did too
Melting a cold heart
And stepping out of that igloo
Emerges a good man
But you was a good kid too

Those ghosts talk to me in my head
Yeah they're still there, no they're not dead
And there was so much blood to be shed
But I could never kill them all
Prayers for rain to wash away
But no heaven never calls
We stay trapped in yesterday
And that's the legend of the fall

Those ghosts talk to me in my head
Yeah they're still there, no they're not dead
And there was so much blood to be shed
But I could never kill them all
Prayers for rain to wash away
But no heaven never calls
We stay trapped in yesterday
And that's the legend of the fall
