Grime - Eldest 11

All the dirt and grime

Clean off daily

Looking for a heart that beats like mine

Don’t lie to me

Tell me things like the waters fine

Oh there’s things you want to say?

Say it too my fucking face!

You made me 2nd guess so many things

Now I’m breathing in the earth

Suffocating and lost

Because I dared to dream a dream

And I’m afraid of going nowhere

Buckling under the weight

But it’s too late

No time to waste.

The enemy’s at the gate

I gotta get clean.

(Scrub the grime off)

Because no one is helping me

I gotta get clean.

Ahh… Ahh…

I’ve been locked up in the chains

(The sun shines after the rain.)

Fast nights and going down in flames

Tonight’s pleasure is tomorrow’s pain

But I’ll be laughing in the rain

It’s you who signaled the change when I had no complaints

Say it’s my fault

Your just adding fuel to the flames

Be a half-remembered name

I got no choice but I’ll pick over your remains

You made me 2nd guess so many things

Suffocating and lost

Because I dared to dream a dream

And I’m not afraid anymore

I’m out of range

I’ve been there, done that before

Only whispers remain

I gotta get clean.

(Scrub the grime off)

Because no one is helping me

I gotta get clean.

Ahh… Ahh…

I’ve been locked up in the chains

(The sun shines after the rain.)

Fast nights and going down in flames

Tonight’s pleasure is tomorrow’s pain

But I’ll be laughing in the rain
