Lyrics
First Prize Waiting - Recorded & Published: July 2004
If I died tomorrow
could I live in peace today
with a thousand lies dangled over
my head
and a car crash on the way?
If you laid me in the ground
as the sun came up
would closure finally be found
would truth be pushed away?
Well my feet grow tired
and my mind grows cold
my heart is aching now
my body's growing old
but my hope is just to stay here
and my plan is not to care
i'd rather be without it
than have to take it everywhere.
If I'm gone tomorrow
would the hate still follow me
would lies and pain still be there
where I am bound to be
Down into the depths of hell
where the fire burns
will nightmares permeate my brain
will my soul never be free?
Well my thought grow dark
and my fear runs strong
my strength is fading fast
my cries are whispers now
but my hope is that you'll save me
and my plan is to survive
I know that I am falling
but with truth I'll stay alive.
Well I tried
but you lied
and we cried
and I died
comfort please
I'm on my knees
If I died tomorrow
would my conscience finally fade
or would my breath be wasted
with a last attempt to be saved?
