The Classic Crime - 《The Silver Cord》

What great risk to truly live

We could die alone

Our self-proclaimed meaning of bliss is getting what we're owed

It's always getting what we're owed

I am like a machine all that I really need is medicine

and then I'll fall fast asleep

In my dreamlike state I'll pretend I'm unscathed

but when I wake up my resilience fades

When I wake up my resilience fades

How long?

I know there's more to life than slavery

I'm tired of dying

I know there's more to life than drinking this soul-sick medicine

Oh no no I'll never listen to what I'm told

At twenty-four you'd think I'd hold my speech

Instead I'll mix you a cocktail

some truth and some slander

and never practice what I preach

I never practice what I preach

I know there's more to life
