Pains, despair,
A fallen hero in disguise;
a smile that lies
an angel that bleeds
a heart some tears
I think it'll suffice
Pride, shame
tears in my eyes;
I wish, I pray
but nothing to gain.
I sleep unscathed
with nothing to lose
i wake up each morning
by paying my dues
a hungry, a sate,
a bird of prey
winning the battle
and losing the war
I sleep, I wake and over again
to live is evil just spelt backwards
I'm daft I'm stoic
sometimes a tippler
You sleep you wake
and over again
I'll die like you
but just not today
perhaps someday
when my work here is done

I'm daft I'm stoic
