lyrics

Watch me honey stretch and bend, I’m holding out right here until the bloody end
When it falls and when it breaks, when the thunder comes and when the ground shakes
When I walk away, when I won’t look back, when I lose it all at the racetrack
To save my pride, to hide away, my passport this suitcase and the railway
I’m heading south, to somewhere new, only the bartender understands my blues
this massacre, a criminal fate, It was so much longer than I should have had to wait
The vengeful sinister, backroom pact, the gripping clinching heart attack
I wish you would have walked away, a week ago last Thursday

Your wicked plans, the slow demise, here before my very eyes
I’ll stand right here open wide, to the cold, to the wind, the thieving bride
Audacity suits you well, the prideful wear such things in hell
I have no concern with where you go, I don’t wish you the best, I just wish you’d go
I wash my hands, of blood and sweat, I’ve lost a 1000 sunsets
I learned some things, after the storm cleared, its much worse than we ever feared
But I’m sharper now, the wisest man who ever walked across this cursed land

It follows suit, it falls apart, the unraveled strings, the callused heart
The broken bells, the broken glass, I’m laying here on my back
When night falls, and it will, its kill or be killed
It taste like smoke from the cigarette, its colder now inside my bed
Its moves through the blood stream, the wooden lunette of the guillotine
Of course it burns, of course it stings, the wretched ripping tearing of wings
The stories end, we are set ablaze, drink it down to remember better days
