In The Veins Of Death Valley

(album: Birds Of Tokyo - 2005)

I told you let the good ones in
You're worth your weight in gold
Struggle to fight the feud within
To face what you've become

Just when think you're at the end
You circle on yourself
It's true what they say when things get crazy
We learn to thicken skin

Feels like the poison is creeping in
Stripping your vein it's settled in
Straight to the heart, good luck
You're finished for sure

Say now it's been a lifetime of dreaming
This is the last time I bleed for you
So long, it's not forever and I'll stay
Here for the echoes instead of you

I want you to know you're in
The deepest of the oceans
I don't think that you can swim

You tell me that everything is fine here
And you can handle it
You're just on the edge, I think you're breaking
The cracks are showing up

Feels like the poison's creeping in
Stripping your vein it's settled in
Straight to the heart, good luck
You're finished for sure

Say now it's been a lifetime of dreaming
This is the last time I bleed for you
So long, it's not forever and I'll stay
Here for the echoes instead
Of you and the walking dead
You're too far gone

Feels like the poison's creeping in
Stripping your vein it's clear to see
You're staring at death in the face
And you're all here alone

Say now it's been a lifetime of dreaming
This is the last time, when you're gone
Things will get better, and I'll be the last one laughing

Cry out no one can hear you
Alone now no one will miss you
Cast out never to be seen again
It's sweet at the bitter end
Your time has come
