Shreds of Dignity

Once is enough

Enough to make all the crazed insane

Pretending we're tough we drive all night through the pouring rain

And for what?

A chance to gain us an ounce of respect?

All that we got are faces to save and some pride to protect

And now ... we got such a long way to go

Places to see

Fewer - the faces you know

Time is at hand with never a moment to question or doubt

Vent all we can the need to discuss ehat the plan is about

Dues and the debts

The debts are cleared and the dues they were paid in no regrets for the grounds

that we laid and the points that were made

And now ... is nothing more left to be said?

I'm hating myself for blaming the thoughts in my head

Never again shall they leave us for dead
