Even As We Speak

Made with love by Lefthandedtoo

The night falls heavy

At the end of the day

But I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid

And I’m not counting all the mistakes I’ve made

All the best laid plans of mice and men have got washed away

Some people get crucified but I’m gonna die in a ditch by the side of the road

And I’ll lie in the dirt without a mouth full of spit

To quench my dying thirst

And no formaldehyde and no shallow grave or third rate tombstone to shelter me

By the side of the road

Speed won’t kill you

It’s the sudden stop but I can’t slow down, I can’t slow down

And a bullet won’t kill you

It’s the hole that it makes

But that’s the only cure I know for a mind turned sour and a body that aches

Some people get killed by cars but I’m gonna die on my back looking up at the stars

Noone’s gonna save my soul

Keep your religion for hardworking Christians

And mathematicians

Weighing good against bad because

I’m gonna die in a ditch by the side of the road, by the side of the road
