Dead End Blues

from Choking on Pride by Giver

lyrics

I am a man who doesn't trust his luck.
Since 7th grade when my father past away, I stood at the same spot.
Everything rushes past me! No clue of what to do and how to go on.
“I feel great! I feel great!”
Thats what I always said.
But inside I'm dead.
I tried to be the class clown. I'm always the man for the jokes.
But nothing is funny at all!
I lost a part of me and the idol who should teach me how to live my life.
There is no one left that I can look up to.
I can't believe that you left your wife with two little ones!
She is trapped in a dead end and she can't go back!

She tries hard not to quit! The same as I!
If she says it's all right it's a lie! In the night I always hear her cry!
So many sleepless nights and so many days of pain. For her I pretend to be the same!
I have to take care now of what you have build up, but I can't be that strong so I try hard not to tear it down!
I can't leave them like you. I won't leave them alone! I have to care for them!
Why do you leave me alone?

I am so empty inside and no one knows that I can't take it any more.
“I feel great! I feel great!”
Another bottle is empty and I can go to sleep. Dear god, if I won't wake up, please have an eye on my sheep! I'm not strong enough to do this alone.

Mom has found a new love and my brother is doing well in school.
Seems like they have found there ways! Seems like everything is cool!
So this seems to be my dead end! I don't have no longer to pretend!

A few drinks would help me to be brave and climb the fence of the bridge were you jumped out of misery!
Wind is whipping my face. And water underneath is screaming for me. I never felt so much fire.
Earth I'll be concerted with you!
