Wretch Salad Lyrics

LOST MY BEARINGS IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE
CAN'T SEEM TO FIT BACK INSIDE THE HOLE
WITH A THICK HEAD AND A THICKER SKIN
STUTTERING THROUGH THIS WRETCHED PASSAGE

WATCH THE CHILDREN PLAY
IN THE GARDEN OF HATE
JUST ANOTHER WAY
TO PASS THE DAY

GIVE OR TAKE, BUILD OR BREAK – IT EVENS OUT IN THE END
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT WELL, BUT YOU STILL PRETEND
TO WEAR YOUR MASK AND PLAY YOUR CARDS
WITH HANDS THAT ARE SOILED

PRAYING TO THE GODS AND THE DEVIL
HOPE IT KEEPS YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE ORIGINS OF MAN
AND WITH THE TIMES WHEN OUR SPIRITS ROAMED FREE
AWAY FROM THE CLUTCHES OF TYRANNY

RAINY DAYS
CAN'T PLAY TODAY
MUST FIND A WAY
TO PASS THE DAY
