lyrics
A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds,
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It's like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It's like a bird upon the wall,
And when the bird away does fly,
It's like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It's like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It's like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It's like a penknife in your heart,
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.
Fear, hate, love
Inside your heart, mind, soul
Right to the spot through fog
Breathing the smog you caused
Is this the way you are so glad to live?
Do you feel proud of the goals you don’t reach?
How many times you’ve been asking yourself
“Why you’re so tired?”
Too weak or too dead to cry.
