How many times?

How many times?

How many times
can I wake up in my sleep
How many times
can I walk until my feet are sore
How many times
can I freeze my balls to bells
How many times
can I fall asleep in this living hell

How many times?

How many times
can I walk 100 miles
Without as much
as a tiny little smile
How many times
will I have to turn around
and watch the memories
scattered on the ground

How many times?

How many times
have the wave flooded the shore
washed away happiness
and tore down all our walls
How many times
will we stand there cold and bare
with nothing left
but to shoot up an emergancy flare

How many times?

No kidding.
Nice work on setting the mood of the song Geir, really suits the subject matter.

Absolutely brilliant! The way you mix tracks is awe-inspiring. Love the slippery guitar, your urgent vocal, the directness of the lyrics ... just very, very amazing all-around.

It's a cracking track Geir,
