lyrics

I caught some flak coming out of the trap you sat
Round the corner from the place you spat, I wept
All night
Punch drunk from the birdshot to the gut
Stutter step through the pitfalls and the ruts
In my life

I’m sucking air through the straw you bent
Foot in mouth for the time I spent
With you, a waste

I’ve done my time and a few good deeds you see
Splitting hairs till I’m splitting at the seams
Undone
I hit a wall every time I fall for you
Too dumb to see there’s nothing left to do
It’s done

I’m calling names from my drunken chair
I’m losing faith like I’m losing hair
Fistfuls of dead locks
Wound my bones with your whiskey stare
Feign and flake, say you really care
I do, fuck me

I kicked a habit, kept a couple standing by
I think the end’s coming sooner than I’d like
Big deal
Running empty but I’m making progress here
Lock jawed still I’m swallowing the fear
Three cheers

So ashamed for the way I’ve been
I get sober but I’m bathed in sin
Good God, gone God
I wanna love, man I really do
It’s too hard when there’s nothing new
Old swears, fresh cloth
I can live with this bastard heart
It isn’t perfect but it isn’t hard
Head clear of war fog

Hey I’m still alive
Hey I haven’t died
Hey I’m still alive
And I can be kind
