Royal Crown

from Less Angeles by Alive At 27

lyrics

Sippin' Royal Crown in a hospital gown
I've got the liver of a ninety year-old drunk
A place to start, and a place to die
Stare from my cavern out into the sky
They wanna talk to me about quality of life
About now euthanasia sounds all right
Bury me under my own front lawn
I wanna stay right here when I'm gone
Scared to life
Scared of my dreams
Compared to my thoughts the pain is relief
Skating along the cold divide
I'm far too awake to die

Por la orilla me espera el gran tiburon
Los lobos me han contado sobre ese ladron
Se esconde en la noche fria y nublada
Nos roba la vida y nos come el alma
En el mundo del mas alla me despierto
Y me doy cuenta de que ya estoy muerto

I can't gain a pound
I just lose my lunch
So full and hungry all at once
I keep asking them what are my chances
But nobody's tellin', nobody's tellin' me
Scared to life
Scared of my dreams
Compared to my thoughts the pain is relief
Skating along the cold divide
I'm far too awake and
I don't want to see you
I can read it on your face
My life has been misplaced

I thought that I told you not to run
It's not over 'til I'm done
I thought that I told you not to run
It's not over 'til I'm…

Racin' through my head in a hospital bed
I've got the mind to step out for an early end
They wanna talk to me about treatment plans
While my life dangles from strangers' hands

Scared to life
Scared of my dreams
Compared to my thoughts the pain is relief
Skating along the cold divide
I'm far too awake to die
