Rotten Apple - Lyrics by Strung Out


Lyrics
Hey tired man I see you walkalone. The wrinkles on you face, a mapof all your pain.
Your expression becomes an open bookof time, filled with pages of forgottenhopes.
Good intentions, regret, disillusion with
Life, animosity, unbridled purity.
All these things I swear I seeand your eyes tell me all you couldnever be.
So many times I've staredinto the eyes of the young, the old,the lonely and the wise.
Just to find a glimpse of all Ihave not seenjust to find some peace for myjaded mind.
Don't wanna live my lifeby the second hand of a clock that'slong since past me by
You say I've got to stay in linewe'll your line is going nowhere andso are you.
Choices decisions made smokin' awaythe pain inside,
Sit back and watch it all go by
We could never find the peaceof mind we need,
We hid it all away for another day
Sit back everything's gonna be alright.
Rivers of pain map your agin'skin your expression a journalof where you've been.
All your dreams and your chanceslost
You walk along that dotted linedo you remember a timewhen you used to dream?
Do you remember a time whenyou used to live?
All your dreams and chances they'reall gone.
So you gave it all away unableto say all you wanna say
Look at you now - turned our to beface of misery
Look at you now a rottin apple'sall I see.
