Shyft - Dirt

from Gray by Red Ankh

lyrics

He told the dirty girl
That he loved her
He wished that she would be
Free From Harm

She said she understood
And she did
But she would never be free
From filth

Why do you not sleep at night?
Why do you feel pain?
Where is the end of the road for you?
And why was your favorite path slain?

EAT YOUR SORROW TO SILENCE IT
BUT IT WILL ONLY BREED INSIDE OF YOU
SWALLOW YOUR LOST DREAMS BEFORE YOUR PAIN DOES BECAUSE
THEN YOUR FAILURE CAN START ANEW

He told the lost little girl
Not to be afraid
He wished that he could be the one
To free her

She said she realized
He could save her from this tormented world but
She just could not
put down the filth

Why do you run from the sunlight?
And why is there no flame (inside)?
What would lie at the end of the road if
You chose your own way?

EAT YOUR SORROW TO SILENCE IT
BUT IT WILL ONLY BREED INSIDE OF YOU
SWALLOW YOUR LOST DREAMS BEFORE YOUR PAIN DOES BECAUSE
THEN YOUR FAILURE CAN START ANEW

He told the dirty girl
That he loved her
He wished that she would be
Free From Harm

She said she understood
And she did
But she would never be free
From filth

Why do you not sleep at night?
Why do you feel pain?
Where is the end of the road for you?
And why was your favorite path slain?

Why do you run from the sunlight?
And why is there no flame (inside)?
What would lie at the end of the road if
You chose your own way?

EAT YOUR SORROW TO SILENCE IT
BUT IT WILL ONLY BREED INSIDE OF YOU
SWALLOW YOUR LOST DREAMS BEFORE YOUR PAIN DOES BECAUSE
THEN YOUR FAILURE CAN START ANEW

PEOPLE YOU FOLLOW ALWAYS LAG BEHIND
DIGGING FOR GOLD, THE DIRT THEY FIND
FLEEING FALSE REALITY FOR JUST ONE SINGLE TIME
Could save your whole life.
