lyrics

Darkness is winning
And I'm doing nothing
I play in the backyard
So much of my time spent

There's always a devil singing
Softly to guide me
where did all my time go?
Has it always been spent like this?

Momma and sister
Stressing each other out
I play in the backyard
And try to watch my mouth

Pa's always screamin'
I speak softly to guide him
Where did all my time go?
Has it always been spent like this?

Oh look another morning came, while you prayed for the clouds to change
You'll be wishing on that star until your eyes turn cold and grey
You can keep raising your hands to the sky and yelling why?
But it's you, you know it's true, well it's on you

Brother's been lying
Been stressing it out
He's making his life hard
While I try to watch my mouth

There's always a devil singing
Softly inside me
Where did all my time go?
Has it always been spent like this?

Oh look another morning came, while you prayed for the clouds to change
You'll be wishing on that star until your eyes turn cold and grey
You can keep raising your hands to the sky and yelling why?
But it's you, you know it's true, well it's on you

Darkness is winning
And I'm doing nothing
Darkness is winning
So much of my time spent

There's always a devil singing
Softly to guide me
where did all my time go?
has it always been spent like this?

There is something familiar about this album - as if I listened to it when I was in high school, but that's impossible because it was over 30 years ago... stevew_890
