Stratford from Haunted Mind by Booze Radly

“Stratford” by Alex Manescu (2014)

Dagger, bloody dagger
Please fill the void inside my chest
Cause the poison I’ve been drinking
Has left me reckless and a mess
So we’ll sleep here tonight
And we’ll lie through our teeth
For the rest of our lives
Our lives, our lives, our lives

With broken bones and hollow lives
We’ll drink away our paint tonight
Tonight
As soon as I realize
That it’s too late to see them fading away
Away

Your name is a plague
I swear it’s true
It curses everything you do
So tell me can you see those ghosts
That hover all around you
You’re not a lord
You’re not a king
You’re hardly much of anything
Who knows what tomorrow’s fortune brings
But I doubt it’s your name “they” will sing

I’ve had enough of these winter months
The snow can just bury us
Until we can’t see the sun rise
Until there’s nowhere left for us to hide
From here
It happens every single fucking year
So I’ll stay, inside
Dreaming of our lives in better times

With broken bones and hollow lives
We’ll drink away our paint tonight
Tonight
As soon as I realize
That it’s too late to see them fading away
Away
