lyrics

pirate chin
a wide eyed grin
commit the sin
find a new place to begin
they say good things come to those that wait
despite denial no way to escape
bell is rung
we didn't leave a crumb
all's not lost
don't have to pay the cost
anti freeze
should we have to say please?
damn right we do
down on our knees

nothing i could do to make her stay
everything i do pushes her away
nothing i could do to make her stay
everything i do pushes her away

the sweetest girl
i ever held
the one who's metal i tried to weld
the one who answered all my prayers
the one who's heart
i see that tears
if only i could save her soul
if only it hadn't taken it's toll
if only i could stop & think
if only i'd never had a drink
we mess it up
we mess it up good
if only
if only i could
we walk the path
& we fail the task
we fall in love when were wearing a mask
but grace'll be found
it has to be
i wanted grace
back inside of me
what have i done?
God knows that i tried
i couldn't see it & my brain was fried
they ask of me so much
& all i needed was a lonely touch
sadness. sorrow.
don't get to down
wear this gift
like it's a crown

nothing i could do to make her stay
everything i do pushes her away
nothing i could do to make her stay
everything i do pushes her away

so tired of being all alone
is anyone gonna help or am i all alone
i can't get anyone to lend me a hand
they all think that i couldn't make a stand
bandit of time ahead of the game
make a difference
alleviate the strain
she lied through teeth
claimed it as truth
eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth
brandished banter
gossips her weapon
labelled outlaw
dreamt of creation
back from the dead
believe what was said
back from the dead
believe what was said

nothing i could do to make her stay
everything i do pushes her away
nothing i could do to make her stay
everything i do pushes her away

One day, some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home.
