Unsung Lyrics

Helmet

Your contribution left unnoticed some
Association with an image
Just credit time for showing up again
Attention wandered Im left with it
Gone by sin too slowly
Cant pass it up
Then I thought nothing is right
I turned it off
To die unsung would really bring you down
Although wet eyes would never suit you
Walk through no archetypal suicide
Die young is far too boring these days
Your will to speak clearly
Exposed too much
Unsung once too often
Could not rub off
