So agitated of no one listening or understanding my need My oldest friend where have you been? I’m sad to see your face again Were you just sleeping all this time, dreaming of a moment to drag me down? Onto the pit so familiar Tired of climbing up all over again How come you love me so? Please just kill me or let me go ”Finally the words I hold inside burst out like a overflowing lava, burning all down in its wake. And this, they say, should somehow ease my ache to get lost alone in the smoke with a sulfur smell” When the smog disperse you wait for me there in the no man’s land Arms open again with a smile you greet me but I know you better than that I won’t let you turn this last safe house of mine into a cell, a haven into hell Published by JVR MUSIC GROUP OY 2023 © 2023 All rights are owned by JVR Music Group Oy & Volucrine Band ℗ 2023 The copyright in the song recording is owned by Volucrine Band Links: Record Label & Publisher: Facebook: Instagram: Spotify: YouTube: @volucrineofficial3482
