Coward - Kalmah

Oh dear mother why did you give me a birth

I didn’t ask to be born

Oh dear father can’t you see what you’ve done

I’m not the one you wanted me to become

A coward I am and a good-for-nothing

Still I can walk over you

When my head is down and I’m in distress

Moonshine is my gentle mistress

A drunkard I am and a yokel, too

Still I can walk over you

My hand is poor and I have to bluff

But cheating to win is not even enough

Walking alone, testing the water

Hiding skeletons in my closet

A coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a stranger

What the hell

I feel no shame

What the hell

I feel no shame

So dear mother why did you give me a birth

I didn’t ask to be born

So dear father can’t you see what you’ve done

I’m not the one you wanted me to become

Walking alone, testing the water

Hiding skeletons in my closet

A coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a stranger
