Throw your children to the fire again
and leave them to burn for all of your sins
Tangled in this wicked web we spin
with wars waged against ourselves that we cant win
Are we too numb to succumb to these feelings anymore?
Are we so apathetic that we forget whats in store?
Hoping, pleading
now in retrospect
Broken, bleeding
from all the neglect
Why should I stand with my heart in my hands,
just to see it get ripped from my grip once again?
And over again
Is this something we can not evade,
standing here upon our last legs?
Taught from the cradle to the grave
that this is the way we should be
The way we should be
Are we so bartered, brokered, bought and sold as if were ******
Selling ourselves bit by bit, piece by piece to the core
Hoping, pleading
now in retrospect
Broken, bleeding
from all the neglect
Why should I stand with my heart in my hands,
just to see it get ripped from my grip once again?
And over again.
Is this something we can not evade?
Standing here upon our last legs
Taught from the cradle to the grave
that this is the way we should be
The way we should be
This one is the first single from my bands upcoming Hard Rock album, you can check it out at the link below if you'd like. Our name is Negative Feedback
