Tell Me Darling How

from Mike & Eileen Chapter One by Mike Roy

/

lyrics

Dec. 6, 2004

You say you didn’t lie
Lying here beside… me

Tears are in your eyes
telling me that I… can leave


Busting down the door
landing on the floor… in pain

cutting with a word
much sharper than a sword you

are pouring fire on fire


Everything will burn, everything in turn
and we’ll be lying still.


Slap you in the face
all of my disgrace… fades

Ungodly deeds done
measured up in tons… weight

that we could never lift


Everything will burn, exactly in its turn
but will you be beside…

What can stop us now
Tell me darling how does this train wreck end

Cause I can’t seem to find
breaks of any kind

a cliff is up ahead

And sailing through the air
do we even care?

Look what we’ve become,
no it was always there.


But that’s now why I hide
and that’s not why you cry… we

are weeping for ourselves


Everything can go down either of two roads
We seem to choose all wrong, each and every time

I can hear the sound of war-drums as they pound
and mount the battle charge and beat us to the ground

But when will it all end, when will we just die
and leave ourselves behind

Oh baby please believe there’s nothing good in me
We have to let it go, or we will not survive…
