lyrics

Cut You Free
© by Richard Bowdon

Hit the ground and run / til your work is done
Ask favors of the weak forgotten one
Only ask of life / help to find the knife
To cut you free from all this pain

Fleeting is the joy / of a wanderin' boy
Soon he grows up wanting costly toys
Did you finally learn / you took a fatal turn
When the road began to blur and burn

Stand in freezing rain / calculating gain
Wait 'til the time is right then just remain
Now the time is out / better to go out
With a whimper than a bang

It's been said you know / that the deepest snow
Comes when springtime's buds are soon to grow
Can you prove them wrong / if you wait so long
That your frozen bloodstream will not thaw

Claws of fate impale / men on fingernails
Polished and sharpened like the devil's tail
When the judgment comes / will you be the one
To claim responsibility

Do you try to hide / all the bad inside
With forgotten dreams and wounded pride
There's no need to scream / no one's ever seen
Hands with so much filth they can't be cleaned
