Streets of Jagged Wood

by No Need For A Name   Aug 25, 2006


I walk along these streets
Of jagged wood
My blood it drains
Out through my foot
The pain can't be
Felt no more
My heart is that
Of an open door

(Chorus)
I can't stop along these streets
Wails of their agony following me
Body infected with disease
Continue walking as it bleeds
Because I'm walking on jagged wood

My skin dries up
Under the sun
My shadows my friend
My only one
My sight is gone
My ears are weak
No strength to move
My muscles to speak

(Chorus)
I can't stop along these streets
Wails of their agony following me
Body infected with disease
Continue walking as it bleeds
Because I'm walking on jagged wood
That small sound is that of heart beat
Their pain is weight on top of me
My obligation to live is done
Let the rest of me burn under the sun
Because I'm walking on jagged wood

My heart has stopped beating
No strength to revive it!
My blood has stopped bleeding
The sun has dried it!
No voice to scream!
No mind to dream!
I'm dead now
Or that's how it seems!

(Chorus)
I can't stop along these streets
Wails of their agony following me
Body infected with disease
Continue walking as it bleeds
Because I'm walking on jagged wood
That small sound is that of heart beat
Their pain is weight on top of me
My obligation to live is done
Let the rest of me burn under the sun
Because I'm walking on jagged wood
