Days Of Desperation

from Crimson Deluxe by Blood Red Renaissance

lyrics

DAYS OF DESPERATION. Smiles pasted over panic. Dreams of drowning under static. Drinking, smoking, crashing, choking. Armour broken, fingers poking. Just scrabbling for a safe grip, just babbling all the same shit. Just scribbling in the margins, just dribbling on the carpet. Excuse follows excuse, indulging a sweet noose. Too smart for the mainstream, stone heart as the daydream dies… These goddamn days of desperation drag, will they never end? Like I’m wriggling on a hook, screaming – life is hard, and if I seem somewhat scarred, well, I fuckin’ am! Each day is another blade, sweetly – Smiles pasted over panic. Mundane magic, champagne tragic. Just looking for some new tricks, just cooking up a quick fix. Just bleating in the darkness, just bleeding regardless. Excess follows excess, in search of completeness. Too weird for the pop tarts, all those with a free heart – rise… These goddamn days of desperation drag, will they never end? Like I’m wriggling on a hook, screaming – life is hard, and if I seem somewhat scarred, well, I fuckin’ am! Each day is another blade, sweetly – Exploding from my skin again – the fuckin’ sharks are closing in, again. Black eyes without soul – bled white and yet they still circle me! Forever am I lost at sea – it’s sink or swim for me, oh yeah… yeah… Look at ‘em go, them strollin’ bones – all wrapped in flesh and good to go. So innocent and gullible and ripe for the rape, little knowing it’s the sharks that built the cage. You ask, “Why can’t we all be rich?” Well, there’d be too much butch and not enough bitch. They break us in, then keep us broke – shit, ain’t life great? Oh yeah… yeah… These goddamn days of desperation drag, will they never end? Like I’m wriggling on a hook, screaming – life is hard, and if I seem somewhat scarred, well, I fuckin’ am! Each day is another blade, sweetly – aw, fuck!
