lyrics

If only there was a way
To conjure redemption and weaponize pain
It could save me and we'd have a prayer
But I walk down the streets and there's nobody there
'Cuz it's three in the morning on Tuesday
And it's hard to say just when this became such an affair
And it rips me apart just to care

And everything melts away
Like the paper that's under your tongue and the words that I say
When you're sleeping
But everyone knows you're so far away
So far it's been over a year
Since you saved me
And I drank my reward as she begged me for more so demanding
We were never clean
We were young and obscene when we buried our dreams with the hatchet
So long ago
So give it to me slow

CHORUS:
As you throw back another and cry
And you whisper we've all gotta die
Won't you put on your best dress and bury my ashes tonight

You'll survive
Oh my darling when you bleed
Do you call for your doctor or roll up your sleeves and cut deeper
Straight to the heart of things
It's unsettling when you finally see what you've done
Do you know what to do with that gun

There's some things that can't be undone
After all we're the cast-outs
Would I lie to you
Would you murder me just to go numb for forever
I never believed we could fall this far

CHORUS

Who needs pride when you've got influence
Who needs innocence when you've got guts
And I take it you're still loaded up on the lies that they fed to you

And I know why you did
God forbid that somebody comes blazing on in when you can't disappear
Let me be perfectly clear 'cuz I've seen what awaits
And I don't want to face it alone
But I will and I won't cast a stone

CHORUS

And we're all drowning now
And we're all falling down
And if ever you can't take the pain
I'll fight the world with you until my dying day
It's a long way down
And if ever you think you should stay
I'll fight the world with you until my dying daty
It's a long way down
