Over the Wire - Crash & Burn Lyrics

Shapeless faces writhe in pain
Those faces, they're all the same
Their hollowed eyes mirror back
Everything that they lack
Every time I hear your name
Tears flow down and fall like rain
Memories flooding fast
Haunting visions from our past

You know these feelings well
Just another lonely hell
Saw the signs but wouldn't turn
You chose to crash and burn
You have to live by your own rules
But you had to play the fool
Not enough to live and learn
You chose to crash and burn

Mother's sons, father's daughters
Get cut down for cannon fodder
Misery, the local dope
A wasted world bereft of hope
Bought and sold, paid in full
Sorry state, but I paid the toll
Starving eyes stare me by
Nothing left but to wonder why

You know these feeling well
Just another lonely hell
Saw the signs but wouldn't turn
You chose to crash and burn
We have to live by our own rules
But you had to play the fool
Not enough to live and learn
You chose to crash and burn

I may have lived to sin, but now I live to win
You can't live it twice, And so you paid the price

Sleepwalk days, sleepless nights
Nothing left, you cannot fight
Pitied cries of hate and shame
All is lost, nothing gained
Your demons cover your eyes
Put rosy glow on clouded skies
Dark voices, heed the call
You always knew you were gonna fall

You know these feelings well
Just another lonely hell
Saw the signs but wouldn't turn
You chose to crash and burn
We have to live by our own rules
But you had to play the fool
Not enough to live and learn

I still live by my rules
Never again to play the fool
I had to live and learn
So I won't crash and burn
I know these feelings well
Won't spend more time in hell
I know the signs, I know the way
I'll face my demons, I'll make them pay
Yeah, I'll make 'em pay
