Wipe the Tears

Ask me how it feels To feel like you're a failure When everything that's real Burns the flame in anger I've heard it all before I've felt some pain and more More than you could ever dream More than it probably seems I've sat with head in hand Stressed by my demands Stomach tied in knots Alone I've sat and rot 'Cause the pain from all these fears Has built up all these years I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Don't give in Don't give up Walk the streets dejected Alone and left rejected Time does not care And sometimes life ain't fair Smashing bottles on the ground My head begins to pound I have lived amongst the garbage With those who rape and carnage Had many a promise broken And broken some myself The promise I have kept alive Is keep my inner wealth With my heart aimed at the world Destiny I watch unfurl I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Don't give in Don't give up Opportunities Wasting life away Choked upon its dust Puked out in disgust Let me tell you how it feels To feel like you're a failure Been climbing out this gutter For what seems like it's forever But one thing I must make clear The struggle of these years Has made every scar the stronger My lust for life the longer I will fight for what I love And I will fight for those I care I will fight at anytime And I will fight anywhere With my heart aimed at this world Destiny I watch unfurl I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Don't give in Don't give up --- Wipe the Tears - Machine Head
