Lyrics
The Coward
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found him lying there on the floor
He did not breathe
Looked around but to my chagrin
I was surrounded
By a scene of morbid despair, suffering souls
And I waited for the knife to find me
But luckily I was alone
Escape, pretend you were never here!
I run, make sure there’s no-one around, don’t make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you’ve done?
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name?
I am a coward but I’m alive
I am so sorry I’m still alive
So I go back, I taste the horror I stare blankly
Don’t know where to begin
The smell consumes me
One by one I cover them all, say my goodbyes
Then I slowly find my way into the night
Only this time I’m not alone
You had your chance but it’s over now!
