my hands are bound. my feet are tied.
But my eyes, my ears, my heart are all open wide
Ive got troubles that stretch as deep as angels arms
And drinking whiskey on this barstool might not get me very far
beating myself up won’t help. gotta get me out of this hotel bar
how long will it take? will this sinner be spared?
spurs behind my boots just like my unanswered prayers
I keep my hands steady and I keep them at my side
My heart is barely beating
but my eyes are still open wide
They say a man of the steel is not concerned by the size of it
I trust myself enough to know my aim will be accurate
No, Ive never known myself to be a man to repent.
“Repent!” he screamed before I put a hole through his chest
Ive forgotten the face of my father again
you remember me when everything that you love ends
I can barely feel my fingers as they tremble at my side
with my eyes behind a blindfold
I can hear them all open fire
