Lyrics
My Wretched Hallelujah
© 2015 Rapazzi
It's just a tiny reprobate
A nuisance of a curse
Ignoring its no use at all
In fact it makes it worse
A token inconsistency
From seasons long ago
A teeny tiny reprobate
A pebble of a show
(chorus)
My wretched hallelujah
A taste of soured wine
Fumbling through eternity
Searching scattered time
Gambling with the future
Meddling with the past
My wretched hallelujah
Good things never last
A life gone by refuse to die
From memory's too strong
Indelible the squids black ink
A terror straight from wrong
A phantom of a silhouette
A slice too deep to heal
No potion found is strong enough
To cauterize the feel
(chorus)
My wretched hallelujah
A taste of soured wine
Fumbling through eternity
Searching scattered time
Gambling with the future
Meddling with the past
My wretched hallelujah
Good things never last
(bridge)
A nasty tiny reprobate
A sleazy slimy sloth
A passing hearse and northing worse
To always pay the cost
(chorus)
My wretched hallelujah
A taste of soured wine
Fumbling through eternity
Searching scattered time
Gambling with the future
Meddling with the past
My wretched hallelujah
Good things never last
