Distant Words Lyrics by Suffokate

Return to Despair

2011

Loss on these city streets
Distant faces, distant memories
A city built upon the dead

There are times when those eyes inside your brain stare back at you
Dying should come easy just like a freight train when your back is turned
I have listened to the sound of water
Running in tubs and longed to drown
Bring me the end that is long overdue
The trouble with a mask is it never changes

Who wants to live forever
I always dream of my death
I concentrate on the bad things
Until there's nobody left

I was born to hustle roses down the avenues of the dead
I suppose like others I have come through fire and sword
Life gone wrong

I have listened to the sound of water running in tubs and longed to drown
Lost at sea head on crashes
We're like a rose that never blooms
It was a lack of hope that discouraged this man
There are times when those eyes inside your brain stare back at you
Dying should come easy just like a freight train when your back is turned

Who wants to live forever
I always dream of my death
I concentrate on the bad things
Until there's nobody left
Dreams won't come true

I'm stuck living through these petty days
I can't see straight, I can't go on
I concentrate on the bad things
Until there's nobody left

I'm always living the hate life day by day
I can't see straight, I can't go on
I concentrate on the bad things
I dream of death until there's nobody left
I can't go on
