Smeared

[ Alberta Bound - Bryan Adams ]
[ The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo ]

You are the one who cares...
That's probably why you ever fear...
You tried to take the stairs...
But they led you back over here...

Running away...
Is that what you really ever want?
Crystal clear, smudge-free days...
Just a well-deserving taunt...

Thought you'd got it wrong..
To us,
It seemed quite sincere...

Thought you were never strong...
Impressive...
You've held back every tear...

Anyway...

Nobody leaves this wreck unpaid...
Everyone who's been pushed out here,
Is shoved right in to get laid...

And very soon dear...

You'll be smeared...
Smeared with the same repulsive fate....

-----

Ignore the whispered lies...
Ignore the bruises on your hide...

Look at the brighter side...

You didn't have to choose any side...

Get back in your element...
This for sure isn't your last night...

Please do us a favor...
Don't be a good bend...

We really love it when you fight....

-----

There are no exceptions...
Nobody leaves this crack unpaid...
It wasn't our intention...
But everyone over here gets laid...

Rules are rules...

So be happily smeared...
Smeared with the same repulsive fate.....

Once I Die

Honestly,
Tried so really hard to forget me..
The hostile conscience harrows me,
Having not come to grips with humanity...

Relentlessly,
I converse with the morbid me..
Says I'm the one to have ruined me..
Nothing more to this reality...

Then...
Heard a few words from the overcast sky,
Assuring me that I would fly..
Once I die..
Once I die...

----

Thought I'd give it a try..
But woke up to a few curious whys..
Never seen someone turn off their lights??

----

Won't hear the inarticulate screams..
Certain this'll all be a dream..
I'll be over with the stifled cries..
Once I die..
Once I die...

----

Recklessly,
Walked in and out of the Love I see..
Now posted over every wretched memory,
Is a whimper for some stability..

Like those words from the overcast sky..
Feel certain that I would fly..
Once I die..
Once I die...

----

So I give it one more shot..
The Jury says I should not..
But every man guards his own thought...

----

Won't no more hear my inarticulate screams..
This'll all be just a dream..
And I'll be redeemed from all my lies..
Once I die..
Once I die...
