hunted down

someone said no story , no gain

wipe the clock right now

i despise what you crave

i remember you

when you wore a different face

never heard a story of anyone

who drove the black town insane

G D
leaning on a stoplight
G D/F#
waiting for eventual change

once it mattered right now

every time
