Lyrics Linger On - Count Richter Quake

A real sin is something for which you can never atone
I'll be forever alone
How could I ever move on?
How do I weather the storm
Long after everyone's gone?
All of the things
That I have seen
They made me lean
They made me greedy
I couldn't bring
Myself to feel
I'd rather bleed
At least that's real
So I leaned into it
I dug my feet into it
I tried to be the type of demon that could see me through it

Until you
Showed me light
And you
Woke my life
For you I would have died
So why?

Of all the hearts I stole it's yours that showed me how a soul can bleed
Of all the pain I've felt there's no greater hell than the day you fell before me
And it lingers on
As I linger on
And I pray for a day that will never come

It should have been me (It should have been me)
I would have died for my queen (I would have died for you)
All you had to do was drink (Why didn't you drink?)
Instead you forced this on me
This life to lead so endlessly
Without the thing that makes me be
I'd bleed the sea
To watch you breathe
This air that needs you
God I need you here!
Oh God
Oh god I need

You
Showed me light
And you woke my life
For you I would have died
So why?

Of all the hearts I stole it's yours that showed me how a soul can bleed
Of all the pain I've felt there's no greater hell than the day you fell before me
And it lingers on
As I linger on
And I pray for a day that will never come

I'm just a bandit,l a thief
But somehow you managed to see
And flush out the man inside me
I must have been fantasizing
All about the life that I led
And the times that I bled
And the nights that I went without water or bread
Or the father that sent me to rob for his breakfast
And clobbered me endlessly
God I can't possibly
Be deserving
Of this memory burning
On my lips unworthy
I will flip this world upside down

Of all the hearts I stole it's yours that showed me how a soul can bleed
Of all the pain I've felt there's not greater hell than the day you fell before me
And it lingers on
As I linger on
And I pray for a day that will never come
Of all the hearts I stole it's yours that showed me how a soul can bleed
Of all the pain I've felt there's not greater hell than the day you fell before me
And it lingers on
As I linger on
And I pray for a day that will never come
