Axe Grinder Lyrics by David Near

Seeing Red

2019

[Verse 1]
I've got an axe to grind, or maybe I'll just smash one in your face!
Cause hate's not hard to find, and maybe I'm too spiteful anyways
A number cast aside, and left to die, among the rotting waste
I've waded through the lies, and your goodbyes, and I've become disgraced!
[Pre Chorus]
And this is hopeless... its fucking hopeless
And this is hopeless... its fucking hopeless
[Chorus]
The sun is setting on us... the blood is flowing in the street
The numb is setting in us... we live to leave the world deceased
[Verse2]
I've got the time to kill, you're lying still, the ground is turning red!
Not hard to find the will, you know the drill, it's tearing through your head! Your life has been distilled, my head is filled, with visions of the dead. One day I'll climb that hill, but not until, the world comes to an end
[Pre Chorus]
Cause I will kill it... I'll fucking kill this
I need to kill this... I'll fucking kill this
[Chorus]
The sun is setting on us... the blood is flowing in the street
The numb is setting in us... we live to leave the world deceased
[Bridge]
Blind the eyes that stare right through me, silence minds that tried to use me
Axes grind and blood is flowing, stronger mind, you can't control me
[Chorus]
The sun is setting on us... the blood is flowing in the street
The numb is setting in us... we live to leave the world deceased
[Outro]
We live to leave the world deceased We live to leave the world deceased
We live to leave the world deceased We live to leave the world deceased
