Robin Schmitz - Alibi
Official track from the Soul Descendants album (2011)
The loniest of people to the end of the road
Mirror on the floor and all the bridges burned
Driving through the ashes as the options fold
The evident assumption that your love has not returned
Well let me tell you ‘bout the limits to the distance that your man can go
With nothing left to say and nothing left to do
Waiting for the benefits that never ever show
No single recollection to where we left off
Both you and I appointed to a dead-end turn
In spite of all our efforts it was not enough
To get around the message that we somehow had to learn
Well let me tell you ‘bout the songs I heard that came to set the record straight
Tom was still implying nothing really ends
But Carole got it right it’d been too late
Staring with our eyes wide shut it passed us by
Missing all those warning signs along the way
The perpetual believer stepping down from the ledge
Submitting to the will of bleeding silently
The deepest cut will turn into a minor scratch
And as soon as you feel fine it will become to small to see
Let me tell you that the hurt you bring upon yourself is here to stay
If you’re not the one that’s gonna save you from yourself
It will last until forever and a day
Staring with our eyes wide shut it passed us by
Missing all those warning signs along the way
We’re both guilty of the crime, no alibi
All the colours in our lives have turned to grey
