Overstayer
Every Time I Die Song Lyrics

I should have drown in the flood with the rest

I had the chance

The current was pitiless

And proof of man was wiped from the face off the earth, the song, the dance

I should have gone with it

Alas, alas

I'm stranded alone in the wake

Now I have lost all sight of the grave

When did I ever say that I want to be saved?

I can see for miles but it doesn't look the same

When no road has been paved,

Go up

Go up

Go up

Go up

Now how am I gonna get down?

I want a slow death wrought from the dregs

'I want to be sedated'

Just like joey said.

I want the heaviest heart

I have eaten my weight in gold

I can see only what I'm shown up here

But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things love cannot find us

So get out of my way

I got out of my own way

Better a tramp, than a captive

Better alone than lonely with all these 'friends'

What in the fuck am I doing here?

Why did the rapture not take me in?

It is my curse to carry on.

I should have died when I was young

I should still be burning lung

If I had known what I'd become

I should have drown in the flood with the rest

I had the chance,

But here I am.
