Stiff Lyrics - Nuno Bettencourt

held your hand i felt you 

jump across the great divide 

my world's in global mourning 

yours eternally divine 

in this room it's mostly cloudy 

showers not to be dismissed 

raining down in human error 

have we betrayed you with a kiss 

here i'm standing staring at you 

waiting for just one reaction 

god i feel so damn frustrated 

the pain is hard to bare 

lying there your skin so perfect 

looking like a beauty sleeping 

touching you it makes no sense 

you're feeling so cold stiff 

and here we eat the lord and savior 

taste the bitterness of loss 

cups are filled with holy spirit 

drunken with the word of god 

veins are flowing nitrogen 

hearts are hardened to a freeze 

ancient iron lung tradition 

breeds a false dichotomy 

your own realit-v show 

speaks these simple final words 

sorry but we're out of time 

thank you and goodnight
