Lyrics Joseph Arthur

Joseph Arthur

Wasted days

Here is my voice of wild damnation

Here is my goodbye song

Here is my suicide bleeding eternal

Here is nowhere to belong

Here is the vein cut wide and grinning

Here are the misery teeth

Here is the drunk in the still room spinning

And the light in the widow's grief

Here is your will of rot but frozen

Stuck as if death won't care

Here is your life lost and sitting

Just floating like pollution in air

Here is denial in skulls electric

Still buzzing and from the chair

Death row blunders, fat man switches

The surge which will spike your hair

Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin

Here is rebellion which death affords me

Out of step with these times

Feel free as you drink from the blood I give you

Swallow my love and my crimes

Here is a shadow a blitzkrieg a warlord

Here is a saint and a nun

Here is a rapist a rodent a Buddha

Forgetting the things he has done

In these wasted days

With your broken memory

You find a higher place

In a separate world

In these wasted days

You hum a fragile melody

But you lost your way

And now you just can't see

Have you a dream or perhaps a nightmare

Have you a gun or a rose

Have you a name or are you transparent

Invisible without yourr clothes

When you are naked

When you are hungry

When you are free to be gone

Have you a will

Have you a reason

Have you a voice or a song

This is rebellion

A bleeding a beauty

This is what will be ignored

The morals around us call out for violence

Like comfort of those who are bored

Suck back your hostage

Light up your handle

Give all your donkeys away

For when you are here undone and spinning

There is nowhere you can stay

In these wasted days

With your broken memory

You find a higher place

In a separate world

In these wasted days

You hum a fragile melody

But you lost your way

And now you just can't see

So look into me, look into rebellion

Here I just speak to your soul

Tragedy's yearning the strength to surrender

Knowing it's all just a hole

So look into me, look into rebellion

Here I just speak to your soul

Tragedy's yearning the strength to surrender

Knowing it's all just a hole

Tell me the truth

And show me the sky

Tell me you're coming baby

Tell me goodbye

Burn in the fire

As you're saving your soul

Then make believe you've got it all under control

Tell me to call then show me the line

Feel how they fall one by one into your eyes

Tell me you see then show me you're blind

Tell me you're free as you drop kick your mind

Tell me the truth

And show me the sky

Tell me you're coming baby

Tell me goodbye

Burn in the fire

As your saving your soul

Then make believe you've got it all under control

Tell me to call then show me the line

Feel how they fall one by one into your eyes

Tell me you see then show me you're blind

Tell me you're free as you drop kick your mind
