lyrics

you are the lifeblood in my veins
the only thing i have to save
our time is too short for goodness' sake
you are the grail in my arms
hardly holy but that doesn't mean much
you are the mother to both my dogs

there's wreckage all around
i can't stand to know at times i bring you down
and the meds take all the blame
i can't watch you drown, a deckchair in the rain

this is a far cry from giving up
waving the white flag when things get rough
we'll learn to grow old with thicker blood

there's wreckage all around
i'll burn with you forever if i can't put it out
and the worst is over now
taming your black hound
don't let it weigh you down

my head is in my hands again
keep your tether by your side
there are reasons to stay alive
there are reasons to stay alive
there are reasons to stay alive

Hailing from Southend on Sea, UK, in earnest is made a trio by the inclusion of instrumentalist Toby Shaer. ... more
