1000 Yards - The Mark Of Cain

Whatever happened to me

That made me so aware?

That gave me pause to gaze

With a thousand yard stare

My worldly construct, so insecure these days

I’d like to break it down, burn it all away

Whatever happened?

Where did it all go wrong?

Some missed chance in my youth

Left its mark too strong

And when I try to break out

Something holds me back

My only motive

Fear of losing track

You see me coming

Keep out of my way

You don’t want to know me

Cos the Devil will make you pay

Look at all the peopl they all stay away

Look at all the peopl I can’t turn away

Look at what they’re doing make them understand

Look at what they’re doing they will understand

Slow my pulse down

Slow my pulse down

I roll the dice

As if I’ve chambered a round

See if my future

Means I’ll leave this town

Sometimes I win

Sometimes I lose

See me coming, look at my soul

You don’t want to know, you don’t want to know

All the issues that I carry

That are burning in my soul

Look at all the people they all stay away

Look at all the people I can’t turn away

Look at what they’re doing I can’t understand

Look at what they’re doing I will make them understand

Slow my pulse down

Slow my pulse down

I roll the dice

As if I’ve chambered a round

Try see if my future

Means I’ll be around

Sometimes I win

Most times I lose

Stop it
