lyrics

Long Time Coming

My throat’s been singing melody
My heart’s been singing harmony
I finally found a place
where I can live my life like I damn well please
It’s been a long time coming
One constant downward slide
Spent so long in the freezing cold
but now it’s time to come inside

All I want to do is stay here til I die
The rest of the world is rotting away
and if I stayed there so would I
All I want to do is hang on to my high
At least just for a little while
Before I go back outside

Cold winter cracks its knuckles and gives a grin outside the door
Buttress up all the barricades, but they won’t last long
You can be sure
But I’ll shake the dust right off my coat and hang it on a nail
Put my feet up by the fire
Outside the cold winds wail

Chorus!

Time ticks by
All rhythm no rhyme
And the sands will surely flow
Every blasted worn-out soul
Needs a little bit of rest before they go
Out to swim in the poison sea
Twist in the icy flow

But for now I’m where I want to be
This is the way that it’s supposed to be

More chorus!

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

supported by 6 fans who also own “Long Time Coming”

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool

When this tune starts, it´s an instant mood-lift, and any hint of depressed mood vanishes. I love it. goldendawn
