The Day The Music Died

(album: American Nightmare - 2000)

Never thought the world was going to end
Always knew I'd come across your face again
Still healing broken hearts and holding broken bones
Singing Taps off-key and breaking quiet phones
You don't know what you've got until you're left all alone
See the strain in my bloodshot eyes?
I'm a hollow box, empty as your lies
And I know I cant live
Because the price that I pay will be the love that I give
Nothing hurts like that look in your eyes
Fuck the day I thought love was more than a lie
I only die every day
Sit alone count the no's of the yesterdays
Those seven days sure made me weak
And when I'm dead and gone(shed a tear, bless my memory
But I can't go on
All I want in these dying days is a breath of fresh air, and some sanity
But nothings ever good enough, so I'll take a sad song sure enough
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling I've felt for far too long
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling I've fought for far too long
