These days I don't ever feel my best
I am sorry but you know it sticks to my flesh
My life boat will burn before I make the shore
I am asking is there any room for just one more.

These days I've wondered what it feels like to be alive
While I am just stumbling along the riverside
Well, hold me down with a solid rock
I am starting to wonder if I can stop the clock

These days I think there comes a time
When we have take a good long look and see how we shine
At some point we have to let the whole thing go
I know this, we've already been bought and sold

These days I wish I knew how to play it cool
But I just sit here atop this old hill like a fool
You may think this keeps me up at night too
Funny to think, the opposite is true.

These days I feel all my deals have gone sour
I think I've used up my last hour
I don't deserve it and it won't be long
But here's my last words...

A heart that learns to love
Is one that doesn't fit the glove
I was sure I didn't need anything
Nothing I haven't seen

When I whisper in your ear
I know you believe what you hear
Cause you're made for me
And I'll pull you close and near

So leave your shoes by the door, we ain't leaving anytime soon
Til someone shouts for help and the Columbines bloom
It's cold in this place and there's no whiskey in my cup
So roll over, know that you're enough, and baby pull the covers up

Your faith will be put to the test
But I promise I am all that's best
I've got too many skeletons to count
No need to know how high the amount

So leave your shoes by the door, we ain't leaving anytime soon
Til someone shouts for help and the Columbines bloom
It's cold in this place and there's no whiskey in my cup
So roll over, know that you're enough, and pull the covers up

You're stuck in my mind, I can't get you out
This is something to write home about
Sorry there are some things you won't know
And there are too many things to let go

So leave your shoes by the door, we ain't leaving anytime soon
Til someone shouts for help and the Columbines bloom
It's cold in this place and there's no whiskey in my cup
So roll over, know that you're enough, and baby pull the covers up

I saw her late in an evening dress
I knew she liked to drink
I could see it in her face

Money, liquor, and lust
Will only leave your heart
Pumping in the dust

She smelled like cigarettes and *****
She lives down inside that place still
She said she didn't want to choose

Money, liquor, and lust
Will only leave your heart
Pumping in the dust

Can't trust anyone anymore
Can't look in the mirror to hard
Can't see what she see's in store

Money, liquor, and lust
Will only leave your heart
Pumping in the dust

What's the good taste?
What's the good of sacrifice?
What's happened to your faith?
I'm sure of the pain
No need to push my drugs away

Where did my secret place go?
Where did I spend it all?
Where's my self control?
I'm sure of the pain
No need to push my drugs away

Why don't I have self-restraint?
Why don't I have a better space?
Why don't you save me, special saint?
I'm sure of the pain
No need to push my drugs away

Three guns go off
One misses
One's empty
The other's quick enough

Nose to nose
Toe to toe
Look at me blankly
I look at you close

Deep greed
Selfish it may be
Breath in exhale
Try and plead

Let you live
Do what's fair
I know I should
The bullets forgive

I love you so
Kisses again
I got you now
Death you know

Think you can save me? I can't be saved
I won't, I don't need no soul
What a beautiful day
We'll take the war
If we take them right
We've lost a lot of men
We got too many anyway

Think you can save me? I can't be saved
I won't, I don't need no soul
As I finally meet my end
I can't be scared, no
I won't defend what I've done
Though I need him just like you told
We got too many anyway

Think you can save me? I can't be saved
I won't, I don't need no soul
I just want to sleep for a little while
Let me wake in my mothers home
Let me be just like my father
Your words won't define the war
We got too many anyway

Think you can save me? I can't be saved
I won't, I don't need no soul
This can't be living well
I want a world like they taught me
I want to love like they said I would
There is hysteria in us all
We got too many anyway

On the grind not in control
Take what you're given
That's what I am told
Trying to find my way
To see what works for me
Not going to obey

Feeling good where I am at
Just let me do what I do best
Just as easy as that
Hiccups in the road
Must learn to let things slide
Keepin' it in work mode
