lyrics

Lyrics by Daryl Ropp

I don’t feel what I should
There’s so much in life that’s good
My fate follows me round like a dark clould

Ask for nothing, receiving just that
Set the bar high still coming up flat
No I didn’t do all that I could
Now there’s nowhere to go

Can’t find love it’s all so up tight
No one wants to do what is right
Dead is the world that I once knew

I can feel it in my veins
Things may never be the same
Entering a new dark phase
These melancholy days

I see time as if it was lost
Don’t want to feel there’s so big a cost
Can’t find a thing that isn’t the way
I saw within my eyes

I want life to be as it is
So hard to love but know how to live
See all the words that I just can’t say

I can feel it in my veins
Things may never be the same
Entering a new dark phase
These melancholy days

Life is flowing in my veins
Things I love still remain
Passing through a bleak dark phase
These melancholy days
