about

this last one is off of 'CONSUMED'

i thought of chorby soul, who's been gone for 20 years and suddenly returns, and wondered what that must be like. this brought me to some uncomfortable places.

this one is personal. that's all i want to say.

lyrics

i wake up on a rock hard bed
sweep the dreams out from in my head
and hold her in my mind

i’m running late, need to see my team
another zombie, not the first they’ve seen
this place seems to attract my kind

i get my head in
they see my problem
that she’s all that I’ve got left
and now I’m oh so lonely
but see the nights are holy
cause I can pretend that she’s lying on my chest

i’ve got the best life, cause I'm living with the best wife, so I’ll keep on holding on
even if it hurts a bit, in the places that the sharks have hit, I’ll keep her as number one

everyone I knew moved right along
in the twenty years that I’ve been gone
it’s not their fault, I know

she’s all that’s left in this crazy world
she’s been through shit that no one’s ever heard
a good life is what she’s owed

it’s messed up I know
it’s all I’ve got though
so I’ll just keep giving my best
because I’m oh so lonely
but see the nights are holy
cause I can pretend that she’s lying on my chest

i’ve got the best life, cause I'm living with the best wife, so I’ll keep on holding on
even if it hurts a bit, in the places that the sharks have hit, I’ll keep her as number one

a fire is burning somewhere
that I thought went out long ago
it’s not fucking fair
but now’s my time to go

i can see the sun going out
i think we both know what that means
it’s fine my love, I’ll be alright
just know you gave me the best life
you’ve been the best wife
