08 - I Wish I Would Die [Swings and Roundabouts 2001]
To wallow in pain Used to make me feel like I wasn't the same I thought I was special cause it hurt so much to be part of the game Well the earth took me in and he swallowed me whole and made me Feel warm He said ‘Man, the cold days are coming and your worry is the uniform'
How I wish I would die How I wish I would die today
So he showed me a picture of a boy he had known with a beautiful face And no one had loved him But the earth took the picture to its hearts secret place He forgot the boy and he gave up his soul and the image was all He said ‘Man, this is perfect beauty and it lives on beyond your last fall'
The fear, the fear will keep me alive The fear in my proud and envious eyes That I might be the same, I cannot let go of my chair My lungs push hard against my ribs to keep the truth in the air
