1000 Yards Songtext
von The Mark of Cain

Whatever happened to me
That made me so aware?
That gave me pause to gaze
With a thousand yard stare
My worldly construct, so insecure these days
I′d like to break it down, burn it all away

Whatever happened?
Where did it all go wrong?
Some missed chance in my youth
Left its mark too strong
And when I try to break out
Something holds me back
My only motive
Fear of losing track

You see me coming
Keep out of my way
You don't want to know me
Cos the Devil will make you pay


Look at all the people they all stay away
Look at all the people I can′t turn away
Look at what they're doing make them understand
Look at what they're doing they will understand

Slow my pulse down
Slow my pulse down

I roll the dice
As if I′ve chambered a round
See if my future
Means I′ll leave this town
Sometimes I win
Sometimes I lose

See me coming, look at my soul
You don't want to know, you don′t want to know
All the issues that I carry
That are burning in my soul

Look at all the people they all stay away
Look at all the people I can't turn away
Look at what they′re doing I can't understand
Look at what they′re doing I will make them understand

Slow my pulse down
Slow my pulse down


I roll the dice
As if I've chambered a round
Try see if my future
Means I'll be around
Sometimes I win
Most times I lose

Stop it
