Lyrics
Coward Me
--words and music by kevin elliot
Didn't want to hear the truth,
Seperate from believing,
Imaginary me and you,
Coward me has won again,
She can't wait,
She can't stay,
Desperate to be alone,
I can't break,
Can't escape,
Have to find this on my own,
Own,
chorus
Take this no one,
Take this insufficient,
Lacking open door,
No uniqueness,
Indistinctive,
Ordinary nothing more,
Apathetic,
Fearful loathing,
Coward curtain I'm behind,
Rejection finds me,
I can see it all unfold inside my mind,
Thank God I never tried,
Searching for the obvious,
Disaster impact eye to eye,
Serendipitous near miss,
Bottom's up to swallowed pride,
She can't wait,
She can't stay,
Desperate to be alone,
I can't break,
Can't escape,
Have to find this on my own,
Own,
Reflecting on the barter,
Just one face on the water,
Eyes skin is softer,
Pace hasn't caught her.
REPEAT CHORUS
