Текст песни Convalescence - JM De Guzman

It's been a couple of years
I've been holdin' back these tears
Too many turning points
Gave my all for coins
Been running around in circles
Like a clown in this new age circus
I was struck in a whirlwind of lust
In a world full of faces in disgust

Yes, it's us (it's us)
Who's not to trust (who's not to trust)
It's us (it's us)
They'll kill if can't bust (they'll kill if can't bust)

We're not better off as dead (we're not better off as dead)
Until there's breath it's not the end (not the end, not the end)
Hold your ground or be a runner (hold your ground or be a runner)
Screams from six feet under (screams from six feet under)
We're just sick but never tired (we're just sick but never tired)
But you kicked guns fired (but you kicked guns fired)
While we are (while we are)
In search for a cure (in search for a cure)
I know we still have something pure

Hey (hey, hey)
You don't talk too much, I see
Or not at all (no at all, not at all)
But you always make me wanna listen
Seek you in the dark where you are always hidden
You want me closer (closer)
But you seem far away (far away)
You never stay over (stay over), stay over
Left with pieces in this game you play (game you play)

I don't need anymore to get head rush
Won't stop until my spirits crushed
Not ashes yet nor dust
Cries heard bullets will rust

We're not better off as dead (better off as dead)
Until there's breath it's not the end (it's not the end)
Hold your ground or be a runner (hold your ground or be a runner)
Screams from six feet under (screams from six feet under)
We're just sick but never tired (we're just sick but never tired)
But you kicked guns fired (but you kicked guns fired)
While we are (while we are), mm-hmm
In search for a cure (in search for a cure)
I know we still have something pure

Yea, you filthy rich
And you can buy what you want
They pay the best to teach you
But you still chose to be ignorant
There's no more for you to reach (no more for you to reach)
'Cause you're too arrogant
Always on the run
With your hand on the guns

My pride is my humility
If you ask me how much I got it for free
But sorry you won't get to see
Not if you think if you're powerful than the sea
If you aim not for truth but hypocrisy
If you live not with faith but with what you see
Turn a blind eye to where you've been
If you veer yourself away from the pain of livin'

But some say you don't have to climb the mountain
To know whether it's high or not
Say you're not crazy lead your soul be the captain
Go head on your strange plot

Killing is their way to prevent
Dunno where love went
Hearing God from the current
Reasons why I should fervent
Justice is his department
Battle cry till his eternal judgement
I'm also ashamed and hurt
My spirit bent

Wearing my heart with a deep dent (deep dent, deep dent), ooh
Living in this world with daily rent (daily rent)
I sold my soul for a pavement (pavement, pavement)
I'm tryin' to catch my breath but I just can't
My face plant on the pavement (pavement)
But I still trust my sixth sense
Fulfilled my purpose from the day since
I was awaken by my conscience
Only Jesus is heaven sent
Open your eyes and repent
Tasted myself a little fortune and fame
Lived every moment with guilt and shame

Now the plan is not to play the game
No regrets I'm proud of my story
(My story, my story, my story, my story, my story, my story, my story, my story)
