Born Again Then Buried Alive

from Another Sidewalk's Bloody Dream (2001) by Marq DeSouza

/

lyrics

Here we go again, collecting permanent bruises
And through the wind, attract the bomb diffusers
This merry's-gone down, eclipsed the pretty sounds

Born again then buried alive
Born again then buried alive

The lepers leer as they drag me to the spotlight
They clap and cheer my bulimia and frostbite
They accept the cross just when all hope is lost

Life's river is gin and me I'm a diving drunk
Sailed through sin, but now that boat is sunk

Live wire sticking out to start the execution
They list my flaws, reject my contributions
So sick of politics, it's the same old parlor tricks

No more cheap words
No more singing birds
The final trumpet will soon be heard
Then it shall wipe away every last tear

I'm post apocalyptic now
Sunlight scared and drop dead gorgeous too

about

-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight)
