Another Life

People's eyes say I'm no damn good
Shook down and left lonely
Only with the maybe we could
I stay inside 'cause I'm misunderstood
I can't get no release

I'm shell shocked from some heavy blows
A stranger to the people I know
Who used to say, He never had a down day
Now I'm holding on to can't let goes
And silence brings no peace

Because another life
Went through my window pane
And I don't know why
I've got a will to burn

In attic rooms I just shut my door
For seven weeks or maybe seven more
It's like I face a seven headed whore
The fights knocked out of me

No measure for grief and I can't find it with the sound
Break down, to the great god of the hand me down
Holding the past around wound up at the lost and found
Where the colors all run to gray

I'm coming out of a down day
Colorized, the city's plays a double feature today
Life is long and something is wrong
But I want to know what's going on

In another life 'cause it's good again
And it will never die
I've got a will to burn to see you again
It's like another life, it's like I'll not get better will to burn

Time goes by and I realize, that I'm alright
You thought nothing would be the same
But life comes round again quick wits and all curious
All caught up in what you say
And makes me grab the time before it slips away

I can't stay and I cannot wait
And I'm grateful to whistle past a grave yard gate
