about

An exploration of the feeling of wanting to give up when life seems unbearable after losing a loved one.

lyrics

COMMON SENSE
1
Edicts of blood rain from the sky
“Make war not love, ask not why
Uphold the tradition, vindicate the lie”
But this is your earth too man, you decide
Your time

Chorus:
Common sense is so cold and dense
I try to break through but I can’t make a dent
Washed up on the edge of a cold lament
Gimme three steps to the edge of death

2
We threw our ashes in the waves
And told tales about our yesterdays
Bury awareness under heaps of blame
Broken shells of memory fade into haze
And that’s all you gave

Chorus

3
Hang it all upside down
Let what you’re holding come crashing down
Fear to proceed silenced by the sound
Let ancient delusion dissolve in the ground
And truth be found

Chorus

4
I cried one last tear from a blistered eye
Ran another damn mile to drop my fear a cold dime
Poured out my heart like a barrel o’ wine
I did way too much but I made it all mine
And I died

Chorus
