the harder they come, harder they fall
< 2004-12-19 - 5:25 p.m. >

the harder they come, harder they fall
and so it gets less difficult to pick up the pieces of this broken marriage
and the sand from the hourglass
acts as your life's work, slowing draining out

the tick of the clock, like a bullet to the brain
and everyone has their own sack of burden and backs monkey full

they harder they come, harder they fall
and stacked to the ceiling ten feet tall
the ones that stuck like glue
the ones that passed through you
moments of entire hate
little black book of fate
and the seems on your heart tend to frey
with all the relationships listed on your resume

the harder they come, harder they fall
and so it is the lesson we never seem to learn
back into battle with hearted-sleaves drawn
ready to fight for love you know might be soon lost

we all the need the very thought of someone
and everyone needs the very though of us

they harder they come, harder they fall
and stacked to the ceiling ten feet tall
the ones that stuck like glue
the ones that passed through you
moments of entire hate
little black book of fate
and the seems on your heart tend to frey
with all the relationships listed on your resume

and we always take them back
because the harder they come........
