Farside Better Than Crying
I don't need your sympathy
but I'll take it anyway,
if it kills some time
Reach your open hand to me
and I'll sever your arm
I take that back
I just feel so old
since the sun came up today
And the winds of change
unearthed my apathy
It's all work and no play
Another battle I'm losing,
better than crying to be numb,
I've heard (x6)
Another battle I'm losing,
but I haven't lost the war, my war
but I haven't lost the war, my war
Tell me that I'm fortunate,
tell me I'm a lucky boy
and I'll nod my head
Tell me that I'm better off
and I'll be all right
Because it's only talk
And now my hands are cold
while my gray hairs multiply
And my teeth feel like
a pile of jagged stones
This boy is getting old
Another battle I'm losing,
better than crying to be numb,
I've heard (x6)
Another battle I'm losing,
but I haven't lost the war, my war
But I haven't lost the war, my war
Let's act like we're all heroes,
we'll sing like drunk gorillas
Things don't seem all that bad
if I don't stay awake too long
It's all work and no play
Another battle I'm losing,
better than crying to be numb,
I've heard (x6)
Another battle I'm losing,
but I haven't lost the war, my war
Another battle I'm losing,
better than crying to be numb,
I've heard (x6)
Another battle I'm losing,
but I haven't lost the war, my war
