SCORCHED EARTH

Scorched Earth I know how to blacken out the sun I can make the air weigh heavy My heartbeat smashes like a drum You’ve had to learn to be ready I’m forever not one to die wondering Gonna let you know when I see you bad Cause my spirit does shudder and drain away Just you having fun can make me crack I nail you to a cross on fire Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right I put it on you you’re a sinner But that’s a lie - a fabrication My hang ups squirm inside a vice What’s going to be my salvation? Gotta face up to my growing up A family life in a hideaway I’s a little guy staring up at a roof How come I never got to laugh and play Yes I nail you to a cross on fire Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right I got to lay it all out – got to apologise – love you – need you
