Well I was just a-thinkin' we could work it out. Maybe get around to take the trip down south. But she had had enough. . So I stormed out of the bedroom to the mornin' light.
Verse 1:. Scrap the car- won't crash no more.. Pitfalls to fits no more leaks nor drips. And the blood-flow; puddles run dry-. Time to re-stitch the insides....
Dust Bowl. High-noon.. Hot Sun, down the back bone.. Whiskey, yeah you pull it.. I can't believe your right hand shook you in it.. . Ten steps plotted underneath my boots..
Just beyond the stairs and the mailbox squares. There's an elevator up to you. And with each small stride. One story at time. My heart'll have some work to do.
Past tense. Woman. You still line my lungs. Floating. Face down. Left me here for dead. . And I can taste. Blood in my mouth. Exit wounds still fresh.
The night revives the memories. That for a moment seem to be real.. Apparently this thorny road takes me to the truth.... . It would be sad feeling alone,.
Awaiting the night for filthy torture,. Nothing more... to lose.. Inside my life, aint no one around,. And no fate... to choose.. With no one but you to laugh at your sorrow,.
First she has the entire World,. Then she loses it all.. And when she thinks the worst all passed, its just about to come.. . A bud of desperation. Has taken now her soul..
You, who with just a look of your eyes,. Try to murder what the appearance in the mirror is,. whats left of the hapless reflex,. whats left of the worthless reflex..
Despite all the bad times,. I dont feel the pain. That this deathly sore produces.. . Despite the abandonment,. I dont feel the fear.. The Grief besieges me without stop..
Now for you, I feel myself attracted.. Now for you, my lips just show the horror.. Now for you, I feel myself possessed. Of silence that devours me down with passion..
Look at you, you and your friends. Dancing on each other like y'all don't need no man. Look at me standing in the distance. Spacey eyes looking hella fly tryna make decisions.
The Road Is Long and It Winds Through. Watch It Fade Away Behind You. You Gotta Hold Together Right Now, Right Now. . The Ground Is Shaking Down Below You.
It isn't all bad,. it isn't all good. We'll never get it all right, but we can make it work. It isn't all bad,. it isn't all good. But I wanna die trying to make it better than we could.
The cold winds of cynicism. Blow through my native home. And in my optimism. Sometimes I feel all alone. What happened to the feeling. That we can make a change.
I'm not here to try and change you. As if I know something better or more grand. All the time I spent trying. I was putting too much power in my hands.
When you love someone. You'll do anything. You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain. You'll shoot the moon. Put out the sun. When you love someone.
Joseph walked to Bethlehem. Found no room there at the inn. And knowing not what was to be. He lay beside her patiently. Waitin' on Mary. . The shepherds watched, the stars grew bright.
Take everything. That you gave when things were nice. Fake everything. If it makes you feel alright. With this distance. From what we solidified. I can see things.
