Suffering Overdue

Zakk Wylde · Other Songs - Zakk Wylde

There's something sick

Inside these walls

Your loss of mind

Has come and called

Your dissolution

View of why

You'll find no dignity

Upon the day you die

When you die, oh yeah

In the end

We find what's true

Suffering overdue

You claimed this oath

And then you swore

Beyond today

Beyond forever more

Withdrawn inside

These sickened walls

Silence is broken

You can break me no more, yeah

No more, oh yeah

In the end

We find what's true

Suffering overdue

Oh, yeah, alright

In the end

We find what's true

Suffering overdue

I tried to speak my mind

But it fell on deaf ears

These scars I held within

For so many years

So many years

So many years

So many years

So many years

So many years

So many years, yeah

Oh yeah, alright

In the end

We find what's true

Suffering overdue

Oh yeah, alright

In the end

We find what's true

Suffering overdue
