Lyrics

Still here
(May 2nd 2011)

I never make a promise I can’t keep
I never say unless I’m sure
For all the times you kept your mother out of sleep
With razor art you’ve carved upon your sleeves

Now so much better than the fearful child I’ve known
Even more than you’d believe
All the scars tell of stories never told
But have they ever really healed?

Trust your soul,
You’re drifting down a path where life won’t let you go…

(VIOLIN SOLO)

I never make a promise I can’t keep,
There’s a reason you’re still here

Just like the time you slammed your thumb hard with a door
They nearly had to cut it off
Feel the anger still mixed in with the blood
Of other failed attempts to die… though you tried…

Trust your soul,
You’re drifting down a path where life won’t let you go…

Lay your troubles in a hole deep underground
To be rebord and then emerge
In vines of passion of a heart still safe and sound
With goals that vibrate and innerve

Trust your soul,
You’re drifting down a path where life won’t let you go…

I never make a promise I can’t keep,
There’s a reason you’re still here
