DEATHS OF DESPAIR

If you can’t bear the weight in your stomach
If you can’t stand the sight of your skin
You can drink and shoot and cut and burn
And hollow out your sense

Yeah, you might stop your
Heart from beating
You might diffuse the pain
But you can’t escape
Can’t escape
You will live

We can’t despair
They’re building fortunes on our stress
We can’t despair
These men will chase a corpse’s debts

We mourn the dead
Fighting for a will to live
For what?

We can’t despair
You’re not the only one to blame
We can’t despair
We have more to give than they can take

This can’t be living
That can’t be death
No, this can’t be living
So we must fight for the dead
