Shadows Of Defeat
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.
these walls keep closing in i'm just a
mannequin it's time to go don't come too
close to me i can't find no space
to breathe it's time to go my touch
the kiss of death more sick with every
breath i just can't seem to slow it
down now why line up to conform why
wear a uniform to grow old and die
in this same fucking town obsessed with misery
life holds no joy for me it's time
to go no colors only gray i die
a little everyday it's time to go i'm
born wrong too dead to feel wake up
it's all to real it's time to go
switched off there's no more pain padded walls
i'm half insane it's time to go
