I Can’t Say” Lyrics Preview

Looking out the window seeing through the pain
Watching my parade again being washed out by the rain
A menagerie of life, memories I should have known
One last reach into the light
One last time to catch my soul

Reckless innuendo so I’m feeling fine
Living in the nightlife with my cigarettes and wine
I can see each day blurs into the void
Smiling, frowns, laughing voices — they break all my toys

I can’t say there’s no tomorrows
I can’t say there’s truth in lies
I can’t say there’s regret or sorrow
I can’t say there’s no goodbyes

If I could sleep a little longer
Would I then know it’s all a dream?
When I sit alone in silence
I hear the echoes deafening scream

LYRICS FROM LESUTH

Chorus

Misery… Oh… misery
Oh… misery… oh… misery
Misery oh misery… misery comes to me.

Verse 1

The only time I know my foe…
my soul looks good on thee.

But bought these clothes with debtor bones
hence of festivity…

Now when we ride among the fires
I’ll cross the tethered sea…

The only time I know my foe
my soul looks good on me.

Verse 2

Hi hoe hi hoe I have to say
a lost boys ghetto grows…

Cause gal I know I’ve got a choice
for mysteries of my own…

I’m all that I must pass away
forever when I’m thee…

By long I do I love to say
you’re my most ghetto rose…
