Something Must Break Lyrics by Jawbox

Grippe

1991

To waste and choose or raise the dead
With pain behind go straight ahead
Room full of people grouping as one
I can't break out now, the time just won't come
To waste and choose which way to go
Decide for me, please, let me know
Looked in the mirror, saw I was wrong
If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong
To waste and choose which way to go
I paused for one whose signs forbode
If we were immortal, we would not bear
Washed up on the beach here, struggle for air
I see your face still in my window
Tormented clouds won't set me free
Something must break now, this life isn't mine
Something must break now, wait for the time
Something must break
