Machine Head - Wipe The Tears lyrics

Ask me how it feels

To feel like you`re a failure

When everything that`s real

Burns the flame in anger

I`ve heard it all before

I`ve felt some pain and more

More than you could ever dream

More than it probably seems

I`ve sat with head in hand

Stressed by my demands

Stomach tied in knots

Alone I`ve sat and rot

`Cause the pain from all these fears

Has built up all these years

I`ll wipe away the tears

Wipe away the tears

Don`t give in

Don`t give up

Walk the streets dejected

Alone and left rejected

Time does not care

And sometimes life ain`t fair

Smashing bottles on the ground

My head begins to pound

I have lived amongst the garbage

With those who rape and carnage

Had many a promise broken

And broken some myself

The promise I have kept alive

Is keep my inner wealth

With my heart aimed at the world

Destiny I watch unfurl

I`ll wipe away the tears

Wipe away the tears

Don`t give in

Don`t give up

Oppurtunities

Wasting life away

Choked upon its dust

Puked out in disgust

Let me tell you how it feels

To feel like you`re a failure

Been climbing out this gutter

For what seems like it`s forever

But one thing I must make clear

The struggle of these years

Has made every scar the stronger

My lust for life the longer

I will fight for what I love

And I will fight for those I care

I will fight at anytime

And I will fight anywhere

With my heart aimed at this world

Destiny I watch unfurl

I`ll wipe away the tears

Wipe away the tears

Don`t give in

Don`t give up
