Save a Peace for Me - Suicidal Tendencies

The worst pain is when a tear leaves my eye I try to fight it cause a grown man

shouldn’t cry

But when they start it seems I can’t make it end and when I do they just start

up again

I try to fight it I get in the stance it takes my strength leaves me deep in a

trance

It suffocates me till I wither and wilt it’s the strongest feeling I’ve ever

felt

Feel like a block that is being whittled away but I’m still holding out for a

peaceful day

Sometimes crushing sometimes subtly it weighs me down and leaves me empty

Save a peace for me

Fall to my knees past time to pray my lips are sealed shut got noting to say

I spend my time trying to forget all of the times that I felt like shit

Too many things that I did for fun now I know I should have never done

I look around there’s nothing to see I look inside I’m all empty

Running on empty, so damn empty, hungry and empty, please save a peace for me

So many times I’ve wondered why so many times I didn’t care if I’d die

I learned the things that a sane man don’t know I’ve lived in places where the

law’s scared to go

I’ve seen lives prematurely be spent I’ve bent my finger with full intent

I’ve had more than one intended for me but I guess it wasn’t meant to be

Save a peace for me save a peace for me

I look around there’s nothing to see I look inside I don’t like me

I spend my time trying to forget all of the times that I felt like shit

I may be proud but I need a lift I’m holding out for a fulfilling gift

When I’m warmed by an inner smile and that my soul is shining all the while

Save a peace for me, save a peace for me, save a peace for me, save a peace for

me

Please save a peace for me!
