Lyrics: Another Boy Drowning
Album: Burning Blue Soul
Artist: The, The
 

Monday morning, i looked the mirror in the eyes
I think i’d kill myself, if i ever wet blind
Your life is slipping away,
You found out you’re older than you thought
– you were today

You’ve gotta stay optimistic
It gets harder by the second
We all know we’re edging our way toward – the end.
– carving hearts & crosses in my head –

There’s people on the streets
Throwin’ rocks at themselves
Coz they ain’t got no money –
& they’re livin’ in hell –
But there’s animals down the road
Adding fuel to this heat
It never did take much guts to be a sheep.

There are no voices – as the time approaches,
I wanted to be like bob dylan
Until i discovered moses
Saturday night & i was lying in my bed
The window was open & raindrops
Were bouncing off my head
When it hit me like a thunderbolt!!!
"i don’t know nothing- & i’m scared
That i never will"

You pray to your god, that you’ll never
Feel so much pain again.
But the agony – has just begun.
Movin’ on, opening new doors,
Life… just doesn’t seem that simple
Anymore –
& in case i don’t see you again,
I hope you’ll feel glad that you
Know me – while i was here!!!
