BW Johnson - The Soul's Grown Cold Lyrics

Loneliness erodes the soul
"Bitter! Bitter!"
Do you ever get the feeling you're lost inside?
"Cold! Cold! Cold!"
"No, I don't know! Two hours of daylight the rest darkness!
Uninhabitable cold! Unbearable darkness!"

"The soul's grown bitter! Controls me! But it is angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Cold! But it controls me"

Lost a finger, now a hand
"My soul needs comfort, needs a hand, been so alone"
Probably
"Cold and bitter, deep in its bones!"
Take it out on me
"Why don't you? I write such misery, why don't you?
Might cheer you up a bit, empty you of bitterness"
And then you can be kind to me?
"There's a balance you ignore it:
I pay the penalty to your injustice, moreso than you do to my discomfort!"
No retribution? Just pain? Just blindness?
Loneliness erodes the soul
"Bitter! Bitter!"
Do you ever get the feeling you're lost inside?
"Cold! Cold! Cold!"

"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Cold! But it controls me"

"Why don't you? I write such misery"
Why don't you? Might cheer you up a bit
Empty you of bitterness, and then you can be kind to me?
"There's a balance you ignore it: I pay the penalty to your injustice
Moreso than you do to my discomfort!
No retribution! Just pain! Just blindness!"
Let's see who wins
"Bet it's neither of us"
Let's see who wins
"Actually I bet it's me!"

"The soul's grown bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry
"The soul's grown cold! Bitter! Controls me! But it's angry"
