英文摇滚歌曲：Senses Fail - Lungs like gallows

I give blood to prove to myself
that I can matter to somebody else.
Is what makes a man the dirt on his hands?
If so, don't put your faith in the desert sand,
There are gallows¹ deep inside my lungs,
thats where I hung ambition.

Is it luck that's knocking on my back door?
Because I've been breaking mirrors since 1984.
I walk under ladders, I spill salt on sores
and I open my umbrella even when I am indoors².
So give me seven more.

I don't need her. I'm not that desperate.
Come visit me in twenty years and maybe then.
Cause I'm not done screaming yet.
You can call off the intervention³.

Is it luck that's knocking on my back door?

I walk under ladders, I spill salt on sores
and I open my umbrella even when I am indoors.
