R&r Lyrics - The Classic Crime

Sick with regret, you sputter out 

Your flame swallowed in doubt 

Light the cigarette and take a breath 

The smoke inflates your chest 

And thins your blood so you bleed less inside 

Left with the mess that came about 

When you chose to live without 

On foreign shores you fight or die 

Life's thrown before your eyes and leaves it's toll 

On your calloused empty soul 

How long, how long will we be desperately alone? 

How long, how long? 

How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done? 

How long, how long? 

What we would give to feel alive 

Through the fog, a muffled cry 

The anchor's lost and so am I 

We fall victims to the tide 

I'm free to drift and free to die on my terms now 

How long, how long will we be desperately alone? 

How long, how long? 

How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done? 

How long, how long? 

Sick with regret, you sputter out
