Russ Reilly songs
They say art is a mirror to the soul. But life is complicated- we seldom have the luxury of behaving like we really feel inside. Maybe that's why I've always found the combination of downbeat lyrics and uplifting music so moving. We all know how things are going to end, right? Why not celebrate?
Here's some sugar-coated arsenic....
bleed your own
i tried holding you
and keeping our feet from the edge
that's just not enough
to stop us both from our descent
i cried and whispered words
that i believed would ring with truth
that's just not enough
something rises up
and makes you
bleed your own
i tried burying
the long-lost twin i thought was dead
that's just not enough
to stop the ghosts from chasing us
you lied and swore you'd never
share another's life in vain
that's just not enough
something calls your name
and makes you
bleed your own
i tried confiding
in the only friend i thought i had
that's just not enough
to stop the truth from turning bad
we pray in silence
that we might forget the things we said
that's just not enough
something rears its head
and makes you
bleed your own
Here's some sugar-coated arsenic....
bleed your own
i tried holding you
and keeping our feet from the edge
that's just not enough
to stop us both from our descent
i cried and whispered words
that i believed would ring with truth
that's just not enough
something rises up
and makes you
bleed your own
i tried burying
the long-lost twin i thought was dead
that's just not enough
to stop the ghosts from chasing us
you lied and swore you'd never
share another's life in vain
that's just not enough
something calls your name
and makes you
bleed your own
i tried confiding
in the only friend i thought i had
that's just not enough
to stop the truth from turning bad
we pray in silence
that we might forget the things we said
that's just not enough
something rears its head
and makes you
bleed your own
