redeeming qualities Songtext
von California Cousins

Locking eyes with my figure in the mirror
It′s a ritual that's all too frequent
I′m searching for something
But I find no redeeming qualities
Just endless shame and a swollen grin
You can't laugh away the pain


The pain of a heart growing cold
The pain of a life that's purposeless and dull
It′s all null and void
But I′m still trudging on
Collecting soil as I drag along
I'm trying to make it worthwhile

And I′m not scared of ever dying alone
I know people who will keep me warm
They're searching for something
And nothing′s ever gonna hold us back
We're gonna live our lives
We′re gonna take a chance
To laugh away the pain
