the smoke is clearing on whats been such a vehement day
I can finally move my legs but I still can’t look away
Skins are dry, liquor flask is all i manage to find
I sit back and wet my lips, a deep drink for a better time
ive got a lot of fight left in me
now im haunted by everything ive seen
and everything ive done in the name of only one
ill be a wandering man till my dying day
till the minute that the devil finally looks my way
theres nothing here that can be saved
the world moved on
the lords prayer is heard amongst whispers and stares
id offer up a few comforting words but I doubt theyd mean much here
I look for solace at the bottom of an empty glass
Ill make a bed in the ashes of this ghost town and remember what I had
ill be pulled apart by the wrists
before i end up in a place like this.
Ive been gone too long
fighting tooth and claw
to have a noose put around my neck
ill be pulled apart by the wrists
until I find a better way to resist
Ive been gone too long
fighting tooth and claw
to have a noose put around my neck
im so damn tired
of your grip tight around my neck
of biting down on this leather strap
im so damn tired
of making home in this place of shame
ill make it known and maybe now youll remember my name
