\"Lyric<\/a>I remember picking up Sugarbomb’s album Bully<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Posterchild for Tragedy<\/em><\/a> by Sugarbomb<\/a> (from 2001’s Bully<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

You got to come back to me<\/em>
\nI can’t bare to spend my life alone<\/em>
\nJust waiting on your ghost<\/em>
\nAnd living without you<\/em>
\nI’m afraid that wouldn’t do<\/em><\/p>\n

You have to believe me<\/em>
\nI can’t spend one night alone<\/em>
\nWithout your breath in my ear<\/em>
\nI’m empty without it<\/em>
\nAnd I’m afraid I couldn’t live<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe there’s a chance that I could carry on with your memory<\/em>
\nMaybe there’s a hope that I could live in the shell you left of me<\/em>
\nMaybe I could last a while as the posterchild for tragedy<\/em>
\nI’m afraid that couldn’t be<\/em><\/p>\n

The silence is deafening<\/em>
\nMust I face another day<\/em>
\nWithout the rhythm of your voice<\/em>
\nThat echoes inside me<\/em>
\nIt’s a song I’ll never sing<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
