Album: The Great Unwanted [2007]

If I could be alone with you, instead of standing on my own
I would sound the call and when they all come running then you’ll see
I’m not alone at all
Oh we live in silence, in shelter, in shadows
The ones that you trod on, the ones you were brutal to, but
Look for us, we were the casualties forever paying the price for a life less boring
Look for us, we were the whipping children, but no more
Look for us ‘cause when the tables turn
You’ll be saying a prayer to The Great Unwanted
Singing a hymn to The Great Unwanted
We will not be ignored
We won’t take that no more
Well you can dodge the pressure, avoid the questions and whisper lies beneath your breath
To you, love got smothered under hearts and flowers and it died a sweet and sickly death
Our resolve wont break, the stakes are to high to lose
You’re finished, you’re over, you’re yesterday’s news. So
Look for us, we were the casualties forever paying the price for a life less boring
Look for us, we were the whipping children, but no more
Look for us ‘cause when the tables turn
You’ll be saying a prayer to The Great Unwanted
Singing a hymn to The Great Unwanted
We will not be ignored
We won’t take that no more
No more, no more.No more, no more
Well, you can roll your eyes and feign surprise, but this ain’t another spurned lover talking
Every day you waste away is a little bit closer ‘till the dead start walking
Curse yourself into an early grave
Well, it’s your body you can die if you want to
Die if you want to, die if you want to, die if you want to
Enough now, lets go!
Look for us, we were the casualties, forever paying the price for a life less boring
Look for us, we spent the weekend quaking, dreading the sight of a Monday morning
Look for us ‘cause when the tables turn
You’ll be saying a prayer to The Great Unwanted
