Better Than Crying

By Farside

I don't need your sympathy but I'll take it anyway, if it kills some time

Reach your open hand to me and I'll sever your arm

I take that back

I just feel so old since the sun came up today

And the winds of change unearthed my apathy

It's all work and no play

Another battle I'm losing, better than crying to be numb, I've heard (x6)

Another battle I'm losing, but I haven't lost the war, my war

But I haven't lost the war, my war

Tell me that I'm fortunate, tell me I'm a lucky boy and I'll nod my head

Tell me that I'm better off and I'll be all right

Because it's only talk

And now my hands are cold while my gray hairs multiply

And my teeth feel like a pile of jagged stones

This boy is getting old

Another battle I'm losing, better than crying to be numb, I've heard (x6)

Another battle I'm losing, but I haven't lost the war, my war

But I haven't lost the war, my war

Let's act like we're all heroes, we'll sing like drunk gorillas

Things don't seem all that bad if I don't stay awake too long

It's all work and no play

Another battle I'm losing, better than crying to be numb, I've heard (x6)

Another battle I'm losing, but I haven't lost the war, my war

Another battle I'm losing, better than crying to be numb, I've heard (x6)

Another battle I'm losing, but I haven't lost the war, my war
