Next Life - Downpresser

Tried killing the pain, but the pain killed you

You played god so god played you

So much that you’d been through

So much I could but didn’t do

Hard days or the easy way out

Made your choice without a doubt

Found faith at the end of a rope

Too late for me to help you cope

It’s still a hard pill to swallow

I can’t lead, but I won’t follow

Locked in with the rank and file

Don’t need an inch, don’t want a mile

Reaching out, I let you down

Couldn’t get a grip, you hit the ground

It’s darkest before the dawn

But you couldn’t see the light, and now you’re gone

Got lost in your head, it’s on the headstone in black and white

I guess I’ll see you in the next life

You had it rough, such bad luck

You were tough but not tough enough

Tired of scheming, tired of believing

It ain’t fair but fair’s just a feeling

Fools die but the wise die too

You died young, what does that make you?

A raw deal, you played your hand

I’ll carry on, for you I can
