Always lyrics

Music: Miss Black America

Lyrics: Seymour Glass



Forget what you`ve bought into

The High Life is within you

You`re just too scared to look inside

For fear of what you might find

What do you see when you turn out the light?

"I can`t tell you, but I know it`s not mine"



And we`re no better by design

This one horse life`s over before you know it started



Thinking of the time

Thinking of the time we`ve spent

It`s hard not to laugh

When they say,

Time and time again,

That stupid word:

"Always."



Free will lavishes you with

A choice of one direction:

March on towards your destiny

There is no alternative

The lady`s not for turning

The ends don`t justify the means



And we`re not better by default

Or worth our salt

Or weight in gold

Just plants and rags



Thinking of the time

Thinking of the time wasted

It`s hard not to laugh

When they say,

Time and time again,

That sick joke:

"Always."



And when,

Gnarled and dribbling,

Incontinent,

Abandoned and forgotten we sit

Chewing over time

Chewing over time

We can`t swallow

We can`t digest

Darling

Don`t offer false comfort;

Never say,

"Always."
