lyrics
Not In This Lifetime
Eyes closed
Many thoughts go racing through your head
Sometimes you wish that this was just a dream
You have this dark cloud that follows you around
I'm telling you it's not as dark as it seems
Can't give up on what you started
Don't let this slip away
In your darkest hour as you cry in your room
What's it gonna take to survive
It's up to you don't let the days pass you by
We have a lifetime and I need you by my side
But not in this lifetime, oh no
Don't want to see you in any pain
Not in this lifetime, not in this lifetime
You think you're running out of time but that's not true
There's many places that we need to explore
Now take my hand hold on tight and open up your mind
Lose that cloud leave it all behind
'Cause not in this lifetime, Oh no
Don't want to see you get hurt again,
Not in this lifetime, not in this lifetime
Not in this lifetime (don't want to see you)
Not in this lifetime (in any pain)
Not in this lifetime (don't want see you)
Not in this lifetime (get hurt again)
(don't want to see you in any pain)
(don't want to see you get hurt again)
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
