Monty Colvin

So this is how the record ends
I found an empty box again
We used to have a passion play
But something all went wrong at the end of the day.

And I can't sleep and I can't eat
See me spin again
Not too sweet and missed a beat
But it's how the record ends.

I love the way the song begins
But disappointed by the end
Congratulations go to you
A special place awaits for all you put me through.

This is the last song and goodbye
Don't be a beast at least I gave the thing a try.

I'm so sorry how this record had to end.

Another day of winter
The sweat is building up
It always fails to amaze me
The ignorance erupts

Sandpaper grinding down
Turned my ego to a frown

Swimming in December
It's snowing in July
I'm trying to remember
I've forgotten how the thorn got in my side

Kick me in the stomach
It's supposed to be that way
Thank you for another
Can I have some more today?

No encouragement, no shot
No "I'm sorry" - Thanks a lot!
"Just be glad for what you've got."

Eleven years of wonder
I never figured out
The one who knows the score
But I'm not playing anymore

More and more you're lookin' in
Play the game and never win
More and more I push inside
The negative and let it slide away

All the pain I fear in life
Becoming petrified...I internalize

More and more I feel the hand
Helping me to understand
more and more I wage a war
Fighting in the very core of me

All the pain I fear in life
Become petrified...I internalize
Locked away and try to hide
Never more the wise...I internalize

Sorrow needs a place to go
See the me you'll never know
