Kerou's Lament Lyrics

I don't know
Where this world is going
For all this life is showing
Breaks through
The paper chains that hold you
They hold me
You know I try and stay sober
But the feeling it's over
Life in this coma
It's hard to stay sober
In this life
Alone the struggle seems wholly worthless
So find
Your friend
In defiance show we are no longer helpless

You made me forget myself
Until the moment I found I was something else
My heart is good
Believe me I could
Watch these heads
Go blow
I am alive I can barely feel fear
And I won't let go
Of this life I'm going to free myself
I don't want to know what your baby say
I'll pull the trigger come judgement day
And I don't hear what your baby say
I'll bust this head for a funny game

I have no apology for these words
And understand that I can't escape
I have no more love for this world
If you hear me then let's break away
So people come on, people come on
The world that held you now has gone
Together the wolves will lay together alone the wolves will play

To the powers of old
To the powers that be
You have fucked up this world but you won't fuck with me

In a state of enlightened anarchy each person will become his own ruler, they will conduct themselves in such a way that the behaviour will not hamper the well being of their neighbours. In an ideal state there will be no political institutions and therefore no political power.

Thank you so much for posting these; I've been waiting forever for someone to decipher them. I think you nailed it. These words are so beautiful and hit me right in the feels. How does he do it?

This song really troubles me, this guy is in so much pain and suffering.

No he's not.

He's learning, seeing, creating, growing.

Cover art for Kerou's Lament lyrics by Ellery James Roberts

No I don't know Where this world is going For all this life is showing Breaks through The paper chains that hold you They hold me

You know I try and stay sober But the feeling it's over A life in this coma It's hard to stay sober In this life

Alone the struggle seems wholly worthless So find Your friend Dream the finest - show them we're not helpless

(y) You made me forgive myself 'Til the moment I found I was something else My heart is good Believe me I could Watch these heads go blow (/below?)

I promised you're alive I can barely feel I won't let go Of this life I'm gonna feel myself

No I don't want your baby to say I pull the trigger come judgement day And you're only what you say I'll bust this head for a funny game (/v)

I'll make an apology for these words And understand that I can't escape I have no more love for this world If you hear me then let's break away

So people come on, people come on The world that held you now has gone Together the wolves will lay Together alone the wolves will play

(y)...(/y)

So give me life, Na ah , a life I can barely feel Give me life Nah ah, a life I can be myself

(???)

And I said,

To the powers of old To the powers that be You have fucked up this world but you won't fuck with me

(x7)
