No Day So Long (No Night So Dark) - Young and Heartless

Last rounds of the night leaving downtown on 34

Roads are wet from the rain but tonight is crystal clear

A call comes in, he takes it, another hour is another dollar toward the family

trip

But it’s one of those nights, where you’re checking your watch and it always

stays the same

Every morning in this job you pray you never see a neck break.

Your head shakes

because you will

Never know what you are gonna know.

Until you go home, slip in another photo

with that family

That you barely even know

A two boy suicide pact, one pulled the trigger the other one didn’t have the

guts.

Standing there with

No tears left, his eyes open wide, his best friend with his face down

Four letter words are whispering behind his back.

The world keeps spinning on

The boy in the back of the squad car keeps mumbling to himself quietly,

but in my head he is talking to me

And in our conversation he says «If I can’t do it myself, at least give me some

help.

I know you think

You’re driving me home but my blood is on your hands

They say not everyone can do it the first time.

For some it’s a slow death

taking decades in dead end jobs

So tell me what’s it like to live a normal life?

Is it different when you’re older or do you just ignore it?

You said I would have my whole life to regret what I said.»

A two boy suicide pact, one pulled the trigger the other one didn’t have the

guts.

Standing there with

No tears left, his eyes open wide, his best friend with his face down

Four letter words are whispering behind his back.

The world keeps spinning on

«Hey pig I think you’ll figure it out someday.

It will be you against everyone

you’ve ever loved

I don’t regret a thing.»

(It will be you against everyone you never had the

time for)
