lyrics

Well I must be getting older
Because the world keeps getting colder
And the life I've lived is withering on me
It's a rainy day in April
and I find that I'm not able
to recall their names, so I don't speak
My mind is worn and grey
Dearest friends have passed away
but still I'm waiting, I'm waiting for this to end

Still I want, still I need
still I fall and still I bleed
I'm still human, just shaped differently
Still I crawl and still I breathe
but I can't bare the world to see me

I'm sure it's hard to believe
this bag of bones that you see
was once a young man, free to do anything
But my mirror is still haunting
and I find myself still wanting
to see the face I once did see again

Still I want, still I need
still I fall and still I bleed
I'm still human, just shaped differently
Still I crawl and still I breathe
but I can't bare the world to see me

Thanks for checking out my work! I know its a small collection and I only upload a new song every half year, but I'm trying to upload more frequently since at least a few people seem to enjoy what I do. Everyone's support and kind words are appreciated more than you could ever believe. ... more
