I remember picking up Sugarbomb’s album Bully in the cutout bin at a local music store. The first time I listened to it, nearly every track was pure enjoyment. This week’s lyric was one of my favorite tracks from that CD.

Enjoy Posterchild for Tragedy by Sugarbomb (from 2001’s Bully).

You got to come back to me
I can’t bare to spend my life alone
Just waiting on your ghost
And living without you
I’m afraid that wouldn’t do

You have to believe me
I can’t spend one night alone
Without your breath in my ear
I’m empty without it
And I’m afraid I couldn’t live

Maybe there’s a chance that I could carry on with your memory
Maybe there’s a hope that I could live in the shell you left of me
Maybe I could last a while as the posterchild for tragedy
I’m afraid that couldn’t be

The silence is deafening
Must I face another day
Without the rhythm of your voice
That echoes inside me
It’s a song I’ll never sing
