Deathwish

Deathwish - Mark Seymour

I once had a reason

I once had a water tight excuse

For tasting the poison

For turning the thirsty creature loose

Out of my senses

I let the piper call the tune

Dumb and defenceless

Lost in the endless afternoon

Once ran on nerves of steel

Injured by cheap regret

Deathwish I used to feel

Weakness I can't forget

In love with the wasteland

In love with the girl I could not find

In love with the craving

I loved everything I left behind

But I got what I came for

I did the deal and I did the time

The life that was wasted

I couldn't see that it was mine

Once ran on nerves of steel

Injured by cheap regret

Deathwish I used to feel

Weakness I can't forget

Twisted on every deal I played too hard to get

Was my Achilles heel bad blood I had to let

Death wish won't soon forget

Bad blood I had to let

There's no escaping

The desperate days we're going through

Out of the darkness

Nothing can touch that part of you

Once ran on nerves of steel

Injured by cheap regret

Deathwish I used to feel

Weakness I can't forget

Twisted on every deal I played too hard to get

Was my Achilles heel bad blood I had to let
