The Bruises of a Normal Life

from The Stars & Ground by Bittersweet Machines

/

lyrics

never wanted to be superman
only wanted to be real
i want the bruises of a normal life
and to feel all i can feel

never wanted to be beautiful
even though i know i am
i want the bloody nose of history
and the stories of a man

cause i've been waiting here all my life
for this moment to arrive
and i'll be damned if i let it slide
gonna live like i'm alive

some people say there is another side
and we can all be happy there
but all i know is that i've got right now
and no time left to spare

cause i've been waiting here all my life
for this moment to arrive
and i'll be damned if i let it slide
gonna live like i'm alive
gonna live like i'm alive

someday when i am an older man
staring out into the sea
i want the bruises of a normal life
and an ocean of memories

cause i've been waiting here all my life
for this moment to arrive
and i'll be damned if i let it slide
gonna live like i'm alive
(all the good things & the sufferings make it real)
gonna live like i'm alive
(all the good things & the sufferings make it real)
gonna live like i'm alive
