Lyrics

Soil (Demo)

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

The phoenix he helped create

Out of control, boy without a dad

Shot the gun that startled my life

While I drove him with a forty-five

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Friends for years images in red

Blew off his own motherfucking head

Confidence, death, insecurity

The men fall unrealized

[Post-Chorus]

Unrealized

Unrealized

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

Making a decision of death while everyone around you plead

Now, you fly in peace I hope, my friеnd

A man can't avoid what he's meant to do when hе's meant to do it

Even if he doesn't really want to

My memories are of fun and friendship

Of weakness within the strength of youth

For reasons undefined, reasons undefined

Reasons undefined, reasons undefined

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Friends for years images in red

Blew off his own motherfucking head

Confidence, death, insecurity

The men fall unrealized

[Post-Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Unrealized

[Bridge: Serj Tankian]

Unrealized

Unrealized

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Serj Tankian]

Don't you realize evil lives in the motherfucking skin

Don't you realize that evil lives in the motherfucking skin
