Lyrics

I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we lay upon your bed
A city full of flowers
A city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
I forgot what my brother said, yeah
I forgot what he said
Don't regret anything at all
I remember how we wept
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry
I've got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Hold my face before you
Still my trembling heart
I've got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Gods forgot they made me
Well, I forget them too
I listen to the shadows
I play among their graves
My heart was never broken
My patience never tried
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven
Seven
