Analysis of Long term
Live Dibela 2004 (East London)
When I said I'd take a bullet for you,
I meant that.
When you asked me what I wanted,
And I replied loyal and honesty
I meant that as well ...
Because I'd rather my flesh bleed,
Than my heart,
At least then I know, I won't be drowning in self doubt and misery.
