Matroshka - Dredg

I was looking down at you

Smiling up at me

For once I held you tight

But shadowed hands grabbed at me Your head was in the clouds

Now those clouds are in your head

That’s when you needed me So I listened to what you said

Look another year went by They keep passing by God damn I didn’t even die

To old and slow I have grown

I fought time but lost

Your love was like a callus

I scarred enough to be Tough and immune

My body adapts you see

To all above my head

And all below my feet

No that’s one freedom

You’ll never take from me Look another year went by They keep passing by God damn I didn’t even die

Too old and slow I have grown

I fought love but lost

To criticize and judge

How did I end up here?

With these standards I’m supposed to love

Make me disappear

To criticize and judge

How did I end up here?

With these standards I’m supposed to love

Make me disappear

To criticize and judge

How did I end up here?

With these standards I’m supposed to love

Make me disappear
