Convalescence

[Verse 1]
It's been a couple of years
I've been holdin' back these tears
Too many turning points
I gave my all for coins
Been running around in circles
Like a clown in this new age circus
I was stuck in a whirlwind of lust
In this world full of faces in disgust

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes it's us, who's not to trust (who's not to trust)
It's us, they'll kill if can't bust

[Chorus]
We're not better off as dead (we're not better off as dead)
Until there's breathe it's not the end (not the end, not the end)
Hold your ground or be a runner
Screams from six feet under
We're just sick, but never tired
But you kicked guns fired
While we are in search for a cure
I know, we still have something pure

[Verse 2]
Hey, you don't talk too much. I see or not at all, or not at all
But you always make me wanna listen
Seek you in the dark where you are always hidden
You want me closer (closer)
But you seem far away
You never stay over (you never stay over)
Left me with these pieces in the game you play (game you play, babe)
I don't need anymore to get head rush
Won't stop till my spirits crushed
Not ashes yet nor dust
Cries heard, bullets will rust

[Chorus]
We're not better off as dead
Until there's breathe it's not the end
Hold your ground or be a runner
Screams from six feet under
We're just sick, but never tired (We're just sick, but never tired)
But you kicked guns fired
While we are in search for a cure
I know, we still have something pure

[Verse 3]
Yeah, you're filthy rich
And you can buy what you want
They pay the best to teach ya
But you still chose to be ignorant
There's no more for you to reach
Coz you're too arrogant
Always on the run with your hand on the gun
My pride is my humility
If you ask me how much I got it for free
But i'm sorry, you won't get to see
Not if you think if you're more powerful than the sea
If you aim not for truth but hypocrisy
If you live, not with faith but with what you see
Turn a blind eye to where you've been
If you veer yourself away from the pain of livin'
But some say you don't have to climb the mountain
To know whether its high or not
Say you're not crazy, lead your soul, be the captain
Go head on to your strange plot
Killing is their way to prevent
Dunno where love went
Hearing God from the current
Reasons why I should fervent
Justice is His department
Battle cry till his eternal judgement
I'm also ashamed and hurt, my spirit bent
Wearing my heart with a deep dent, uh (deep dent)
Livin' in this world with daily rent
I've sold my soul for payment
Tryin' to catch my breath but i just can't
May face plant on the pavement
But I still trust my sixth sense
Fulfill my purpose from the day since
I was awaken by my conscience
Only Jesus is heaven sent
Open your eyes and repent (open, open)
Tasted myself a little fortune and fame
Lived every moment with guilt and shame
Now the plan is not to play the game
No regrets, i'm proud of my story
