"Greyhound (Live)" lyrics - ASHTON IRWIN
[Intro:]
Yeah
Ooh
Echos of the words roll in
No I can't remember the last time I heard a thing
Poison underneath my skin
No I can't remember the last time I looked so thin
I bite my tongue between my teeth
And the blood will run and drip down beside my cheek
My mother always knew me best
Yeah, she always tried to push me beyond the rest
[Pre-Chorus:]
Keep on trying to move forwards, I never wanna go back
I won't ever let no one try to beat me like that
I'm not bitter and broken, I'm just torn up inside
Scream in truth or be spoken, can't hold me inside
Oh
[Chorus:]
Run, greyhound run, run run run
Greyhound run (run run run run)
Greyhound run, run run run
Greyhound (run run run run)
Blood of the rabbit
It stains my teeth
Blood of the rabbit
It stains my teeth
Summer's of a haunting glow
Oh it seems that I'm the last one to let it go
If I ever loved again
Oh I swear I won't be tempted by soulless skin
Tiny broken parts of me
Ooh, blistered broken glass underneath my feet
How I was I supposed to know
No man should reach for something he can't let go
[Pre-Chorus:]
Keep on trying to move forwards, I never wanna go back
I won't ever let no one try to beat me like that
I'm not bitter and broken, I'm just torn up inside
Scream in truth or be spoken
I won't hold it inside
Sing
[Chorus:]
Run, greyhound run, run run run
Greyhound run (run run run run)
Greyhound run, run run run
Greyhound run (run run run run)
Sing it with me
Blood of the rabbit
It stains my teeth, oh
Blood of the rabbit
It stains my teeth
(Run run run run, run run)
Andrew... everybody!
Hey
[Bridge:]
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
We lose the chase for nothing
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
We lose the chase for nothing
[Chorus:]
Run, greyhound run, run run run
Greyhound (run run run run)
Run, greyhound run, run run run
Greyhound run (run run run run)
Blood of the rabbit
It stains my teeth, yeah
Blood of the rabbit
It stains my teeth
Sing it with me
[Outro:]
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
We lose the chase for nothing
Greyhound run
Greyhound run
Greyhound run
[Postlude]
Everybody feels pain
An abundance of pain we experience in this lifetime
Pain isn't the bane of our existence - we can overcome things that haunt us, taunt us, turn us into people who we never wanted to become
This song's called Matter of Time
