Down Like Suicide

(album: Audrey Horne - 2010)

When it all comes down like suicide
You keep your eyes wide shut wide and your hands in sight
Seems impossible to choose
Either way, you're gonna lose
And your life comes down like heavy rain
And you try your best to stay insane
There is nothing left to lose
Nothing left to choose

As your silverlines wearing thin with time
And rust is eating what is left to shine
Seems impossible to cope, so hang on to your last rope
Keep your heart up close and your soul on hold
And wait for the cue that was meant for you
'Cause our intention is not what you might think
When you try to hide what's deep inside
And all your friends have stepped aside
You try to hide what eats you from inside

Sing it for me now, sing it out aloud, aloud
And though you never gonna get away alive
I guess it's all that you can do
To keep what's left of your pride

As your heart stopped beating and it broke in two
You can rest assured, we did all we could
For the last poor boy in town
Who had the heart to stick around
We brought the paramedics and the oxygen
It took a lot to bring you back
For your final escapade, your last serenade

Sing it for me now, sing it for me now
Sing it for me now, sing it out aloud, aloud
And though you never gonna get away alive
I guess it's all that you can do
To keep what's left of your pride

Take this rusty heart
I'll save another tear, a tear
And though you never gonna get away alive
I guess it's all that you can do
To keep what's left of your pride

Shine a little light on them
Shine a little light on them, my dear

Shine a little light on them
Shine a little light on them, my dear
