MAD JOHN THE WISE LYRICS

1. My Dearest Crime

Beauty kills your voice
And itches to the bone,
Leaves you forgotten and alone.

Alone we'll overcome,
Like a stray dog in pain.
Cleaning wounds in the rain.

Stranger's eyes look deep,
And you feel a little shame,
And you know you deserve all the blame.

Hopes are fading fast,
You got to raise your voice,
Some people must make some noise!

Stand your ground cause the help is on the way.
When we hear your call we will save the day,
Bearing the load, burning the load along the way.

Bring me godspeed wish me luck,
So nothing can hold me down.
Let me in cause I don't wanna hear,
The songs on the fade out.

On our feet we stand.
We care for what we dare.
Into the abyss we stare.

A sin will never last,
But the scar it leaves on you,
Will always leave you bleeding through.

Stand your ground cause the help is on the way.
When we hear your call we will save the day,
Bearing the load, burning the load along the way.

Bring me godspeed wish me luck,
So nothing can hold me down.
Let me in cause I don't wanna hear,
The songs on the fade out.

These moments, I'm giving,
It's just a trick of time.
How hard I try to deceive it
Has become my dearest crime.

2. Green Pills

Feeling different,
Social obscurity.
Fields of wit burning in my head and
I think I'm out of purity.

All these numbers,
Somehow they stuck within my head.
Is my bad luck due to 13?
What is this knife doing in my hand?

Hate and sorrow.
Ink of my thoughts is bleeding through.
Grasp the sound of a distant calling,
But still I haven't heard from you.

Blood on pillows.
Cold sweat I'm drawing close to the light.
Staring at the wall for hours,
I've got to fall asleep tonight...

Am I crazy?
Can't stop talking to myself,
All the scum surrounding me,
Are figures of a dying day.
Green pills deal dementia!

Suicidal thoughts rise up again,
Ignorance baptizing me insane.
The higher they are the harder they will fall,
but when we go down we rise alone!

I stood there watching them,
They did not seem to care.
There was so much noise you couldn't hear a sound.
And then you know sometimes,
It's hard to read their minds,
but they never try to reach you.
Forgot to understand.
Forgot how stray the rock feels in the sand.

3. The Hunt

Hide!
I'm tracking the pace of fear,
Your shivering hopes I hear,
The prey is gone...
The hunt is now!
Prowling my sacred vow.
My skin feels so colder now,
But as I move on through the path
Breath's short I'm sinking down.

Run!
My senses behold the fear.
The arrows of gold I hear,
And as I am gone,
I turn around...
To find I'm alone somehow.
The quiver is empty now,
But as I move on through the path
Breath's short I'm sinking down.

4. Gatti di Strada

Mind our freedom cause we are not meant to last.
Watching people fall behind you through the glass.
Wanderin' if this will ever feed on you.
What will happen if the boss forgets to pay you?

Why does lying on your bed feels so uptight?
Did you think that you could profit overnight?
Did your cat have a suit in extra large?
Bought a desk so your mouth could be free of charge.

And every bench on the park seems occupied,
A dirty blanket for the coldest winter night,
Looking down just to be indifferent too.
So did you!

We are the cats that rob, steal, murder
All that you dream through the night.
We dance around our little fire
And our smoke is in your sight.

We burn the lust that keeps you going.
Your precious vanity.
The shiny claws the shiny yellow eyes,
Decide our destiny.

We are the kings that don't need a crown,
Cause we all live by the road.
So don't be shy we may have what you want,
Damnation a la mode.

The world is blind, the world is hiding,
Behind a coronet.
Another dream that burns time faster.
A crooked cigarette.

We better realize we are the pawns of the chess.
We try to fuck the queen but all we see is the dress.
The exit sign that's shining bright by the door,
Devotion died before the boat left the shore.

The foreign newsfeed's gaining ground,
Domestic pride gets carried away,
For every loan one step behind.

We are born as one who cares,
Our dreams were never theirs,
Our fight freedom declares!
