Stay Lyrics

Take away your pride and bare –
See truly what I am…
Rained in upon this holiday,
On the eve of such a distraction…
As marked as these wounds are in blood,
As shattered lives litter the streets,
I’d cut open my eyes to see --
My own last fucking days of faded glory

How troubled, riddled, sickle we are…
So unable to restrain
My counterculture has won,
The numbness nevermore will stay away

Just learn from my mistakes…
Please learn from my mistakes.
I would usher in the pain,
The numbness nevermore will stay, will stay away
I’d open up my veins
And overflow with hate
I usher in the pain,
And open up my veins

The numbness nevermore will stay, will stay away
As marked as these wounds are in blood,
As shattered lives litter the streets – I run,
I cut open my eyes to see
My own last fucking days of faded glory
