On Pain of Birth Songtext
von Wall of Sleep

Morning sky, morning clouds
Nothing left to lose
One more time once again
Is there anything to choose?

Drowning that means yesterday
Live through that means now
Yesterday means no way out
Today means I know how

For a day, for a year for a touch I can′t feel
For a short deadly while
For a day for a year for a touch I can't feel
For a sour little time...

For a day for a year for a little deadly while


I′m short of breath
I'm short of time
I stray under the Sun
I'm short of days
I′m short of nights
Am I the only one?

Bridges′re burning
Behind todays
Over muddy flow of lies
Let me out of debt
Let me pay the price
With a fistful of despite

For a day, for a year for a touch I can't feel
For a short deadly while
For a day for a year for a touch I can′t feel
For a sour little time...

For a day for a year for a little short deadly while
