Wipe the Tears - Machine Head

Ask me how it feels

To feel like you’re a failure

When everything that’s real

Burns the flame in anger

I’ve heard it all before

I’ve felt some pain and more

More than you could ever dream

More than it probably seems

I’ve sat with head in hand

Stressed by my demands

Stomach tied in knots

Alone I’ve sat and rot

'Cause the pain from all these fears

Has built up all these years

I’ll wipe away the tears

Wipe away the tears

Don’t give in, don’t give up

Walk the streets dejected

Alone and left rejected

Time does not care

And sometimes life ain’t fair

My head begins to pound

Smashing bottles on the ground

I have lived amongst the garbage

With those who rape and carnage

Had many a promise broken

And broken some myself

The promise I have kept alive

Is keep my inner wealth

With my heart aimed at the world

Destiny I watch unfurl

I’ll wipe away the tears

Wipe away the tears

Don’t give in, don’t give up

Opportunities

Wasting life away

Choked upon its dust

Puked out in disgust

Let me tell you how it feels

To feel like you’re a failure

Been climbing out this gutter

For what seems like it’s forever

But one thing I must make clear

The struggle of these years

Has made every scar the stronger

My lust for life the longer

I will fight for what I love

And I will fight for those I care

I will fight at anytime

And I will fight anywhere

With my heart aimed at this world

Destiny I watch unfurl

I’ll wipe away the tears

Wipe away the tears

Don’t give in, don’t give up

Voice so true inside

Follow your own light

Fortune
