"Cardiff" lyrics - STONE SOUR

This fluid feels like pain
This stoic mood is all in vain
I reach into the dark
I tear this other me apart
How many years ago?
How many deaths I can't let go?
My flesh is temporary, my God extraordinary

[Chorus:]
You can't kill my mind
A man delivered can never make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end
But I won't give this life away again

Sifting through the same debris
Oh my father call to me
This smoke is in my blood
This home is just no good
Save me from my bitterness
Give me up I did my best
Chalk this system full of shit
Lock this fucker lost in it

[Chorus:]
You can't kill my mind
A man delivered can never make his way in darkness
And I know tonight will end
But I won't give this life away
I won't give this life away again

[Post-Chorus:]
A man surrendered can never find his own forgiveness
I know my life will end
But I won't give tonight away
I won't give tonight away again

[Outro:]
This fluid feels like pain
This ruin feels like rain
I reach into the past
My future's fading fast
How many years ago?
How many I let go?
My flesh is all I have
My face is happenstance
This smoke is in my blood
This life is not enough
This life is not enough
This life is not enough
