The Growing by Machine Gun Fellatio Lyrics

Beautiful mind, beautiful mind
Beautiful mind, oh my
Hold my hand and I
Hold my hand and I
Hold my hand and I go blind
Beautiful mind, beautiful mind
Beautiful mind, oh my
Well I've been riding hard for days
Tryin' to find my weary way back to your heart
I tied my demons to a pole
And left them stranded in the hole
They dug for you
Now I can almost see the light
As I travel through the night
Soon there will be no pain
You are my reasons for livin'
I beg to be forgiven
I'm ready to love again
So I've come to the conclusion
That the thing that keeps me losin' is my fear
But is it fear of my success
Or is it somethin' more or less
That commandeers my soul?
Somehow I managed to survive
And the moment I arrive, I find you gone
And the note upon the table
Says you found yourself unable to carry on
You're gone... You're gone...
"My dear sweetheart, when they sent you away
I promised I would wait for you
Until and beyond the end of time
And through these past twelve summers
Eleven winters, and all days in between
I have made good my promise
In the face of all temptation
But as the nights grow colder
And a twelfth winter approaches
It is with profound regret
I find myself unable to carry on. "
When it comes to lay the blame
I guess it always ends the same
I let you down
I was the one to lead the charge
I got us livin' large then I was gone
But then those coppers dragged me down
And locked me up in that other town
I called your name
I thought I showed you how to live
It was all I had to give
I could never love a man who'd kill himself for me...
