The Coward

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shawn Milke] I found him lying there on the floor; he did not breathe Looked around, but to my chagrin I was surrounded By a scene of morbid despair (Suffering souls) And I waited for the knife to find me [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] But luckily, I was alone Escape, pretend you were never here [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I run, make sure there's no one around (Don't make a sound) I beg my body to stay off of the ground (Oh, do you) Realize just what you've done? (Oh, I knew) Will I ever mention her name? [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee, Shane Crump & Shawn Milke] I am a coward, but I'm alive I am so sorry I'm still alive [Verse 2: Shawn Milke] So I go back, I taste the horror I stare blankly, don't know where to begin The smell consumes me One by one, I cover them all (Say my goodbyes) Then I slowly find my way into the night [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Only this time, I'm not alone You had your chance, but it's over now [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I run, make sure there's no one around (Don't make a sound) I beg my body to stay off of the ground (Oh, do you) Realize just what you've done? (Oh, I knew) Will I ever mention her name? [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee, Shane Crump, Shawn Milke] I am a coward, but I'm alive I am so sorry I'm still alive [Breakdown: Dennis Lee, Shane Crump & Shawn Milke] I'm begging you, please let me go I'll pretend I did not see a thing Rip out my tongue (Yeah), please Let me go (And I'll tell them you were never here) Please (I'll swear to them that it was me) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I run, make sure there's no one around (Don't make a sound) I beg my body to stay off of the ground (Oh, do you) Realize just what you've done? (Oh, I knew) Will I ever mention her name? [Outro: Dennis Lee, Shane Crump & Shawn Milke] I am a coward, but I'm alive I am so sorry I'm still alive I am a bastard, but I'm alive I'm so sorry for what I have done
