No-Mad

Everywhere I Roam

Never had home

Always been alone

Everywhere I roam

Give a dog a bone

Gotta rest the head

Crawl up into bed

Feel it all instead

Body is the bread

I know what it's not

I see what we've got

Down on bended knee

Love will set us free

There always is a knife

Threatening this life

Sinking fear in dreams

Deciphering things

Seeking truth is tough

Some girls like it rough

but isn't Love enough?

Melting at the touch...

Nobody is pure and

No one fits the dream

Love is still the cure

And the only thing

With meaning

Worth seeking

In being here my dear

Isn't it clear?

How hard can it be?

You're not unlike me

Unfortunately, sad

Hell-bent like your dad

Wish I could correct

Corruption in the heart

I scrub away my life

Polishing this part

Look at what we've got

Looks like all for naught

Finding what we sought

All that shit we bought...

Eat the sacred cow

Revolution how

Chasing the big wow

Fucking, over, now...

Oh that little death

Now, our final breath

No time left to choose

You either win or lose

Stop acting so dumb

Frigid, icy, numb

All is said and done, just

Look what we've become

My heart can only break

It swells, it bursts, it makes

Beauty turn to dust

Innocence to lust

Everything's in vain

Even all this pain

What have we to gain

Joyfully insane

Does it matter?

Hearts will shatter

Life goes on...

I could be wrong.
