These are lyrics from my last band Again Without Feeling.
The first two pieces made up the hidden track on our CD
When There Are No More Tears Left To Cry.
The third is the original lyrics for To No Avail
written before AWF became AWF.
Anyway, here they are...
heartfelt
it tears a piece of itself off
one for every painful day
each throbbing segment lives within
the pulse still echoing inside
hollow breathing
with each broken fragment
another part of you dies
even your strengths are meek
feeling your slow decline
blood loss with each beat
drained of what keeps you whole
and with this lack of strength
you become something so much less
shallow feelings
vomiting blood and laughter
at the thought of you in your pathetic state
death takes a stranglehold
gagging the talker
staple shut the mouth
force fed shrapnel like candy
cutting like knives
sawing away
keeping the mouth clamped
tightly embracing itself
choking down fragments
swallowing blood
gagging the talker
who spews the secrets
verbal attack upon your vulnerabilities
flowing river of lies
stop the flow with a punch to the throat
the pain serves as a constant reminder to keep silent
to no avail
i'm losing faith
giving up
i try so hard
all for none
it drains me
my useless effort
a daily battle within
the pressures of modern man
as week seek, so shall we find
or more appropriately
once a victim, always a victim
faith
a vulgar word to the ears of the hopeless
i push so hard
and i just get pushed back
where does my effort pay off?
it doesn't
it never has
i prayed as a child
hoped as an adolescent
now i wonder as an adult
for nothing
i can't even think of anything else to write
and i'm losing my faith
