"Biko"

I'm not doing it (this) alone
I'm not doing, I'm not doing this alone

For my sweetheart the melancholic
You have crossed the River Styx
And the waves have taken you away

As I lay my head on your chest
I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

So tough it out
Biko tough it out
Biko tough it out
This world isn't kind to little things

I'm not doing this alone

Was my love not strong enough to
Bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't

I'm not doing this alone

So I've been writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grave
We can dance in a front row again

So tough it out
Biko tough it out
Biko tough it out
I need you to be strong for us

So tough it out
Biko tough it out
Biko tough it out
This world isn't kind to little things

I'm not doing this alone

Don't you know that when you stand
You stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms

I'm not doing this alone

Every tear you shed is cleansing
Taking the pain away from you
I left you blue gris in the fridge
The little thing that I can do

So tough it out
That I can do it
Biko tough it out
That I can do
Biko tough it out
I need you to be strong for us
So tough it out
Biko tough it out
Biko tough it out
This world isn't kind to little things

I'm not doing this alone

Bruises!

So tough it out
Bruises
Biko tough it out
Bruises
Biko tough it out
Bruises
I need you to be strong for us
Bruises
So tough it out
Bruises
Biko tough it out
Bruises
Biko tough it out
Bruises
This world isn't kind to little things
Bruises

I'm not doing this alone
I'm not doing
I'm not doing this alone
