Cain & Abel (Live from the Evelyn Hotel, August 20 2015)
lyrics
the clock is ticking, so start the show,
The stage where your creator's getting ready to let go,
the crowd is moving, pull down your mask,
the answer to each question changes, every time you're asked,
hand on my shoulder, still playing games,
take all that you can from me and throw back what remains,
I never saw you, eyes playing tricks,
just saying goodbye,
old dog, new kicks
Dead ends and mutual friends,
and just another marauder,
Blood cries out to me from the ground,
Thinner than water,
do you ever get the feeling that you left something behind?
To build this takes a lifetime, to lose it only takes a night,
punch in the stomach, knife in the back,
make sure you spend your last few hours, covering your tracks,
kept in the darkness, dishonest times,
I found out how you killed me when I read between the lines,
time is a healer, she'll lick your wounds,
But all these tainted memories won't go away too soon,
you will continue, so unaware,
who's funeral's next?
I'll see you there
Dead ends and mutual friends,
and just another marauder,
Blood cries out to me from the ground,
Thinner than water,
do you ever get the feeling that you left something behind?
To build this takes a lifetime, to lose it only takes a night,
he's due a win,
let's go out into the field,
