Lyrics
Words Won't Work
Copyright 2003, Wesley Warren
Working and watching and waiting for you is more than my poor heart can stand. You will not find what you do not seek and compassion is right in my hand.
Words won't work for you now darlin', but they're all tht I need. If you can take all this blood on your hands, then come watch me bleed.
Choke it all down or spit it back up, the taste in your mouth is the same. You may find that your lies have all passed, but deceptions's a part of your name.
Its eating me up and you know. Thought you'd figure it out and then go. But you're in it so deep now you can't feel the light. The consequences you've rendered will haunt you and hold you and choke you.
Yeah its all over and still you don't see, yeah you're still reaching out for my hand. Compassion you'll find, but it won't be in me - I've had all of your shit I can stand.
