lyrics

we might owe our lives to different gods
play the same hand with different odds
but under neon light
we’re just as bright/the same tonight
and in this moment was he really worth
the bruises and broken earth
such a complicated birth

never was too proud to beg
I’m going to take my time
piss running down my leg
taking back what once was mine

karma shows up like you’ve met before
and suggests that you love the war
more than what you are fighting for
what are we fighting to for?

it fills me up with dread
i’m not finished yet
but won’t you take my life instead
what a way to be remembered
like a martyr for the cause
on a cross of scaffold boards
better than being ignored
who you calling simple now


comforted by the unlikely hope
dressed in his camel overcoat
a ringside seat just behind the ropes
undeterred by seeming out of place
he'd put his fingers around my face
and tell me that i might be okay

red blood rushes from his head
they called it at the scene
piss running down my leg
you don’t know what judgement means

it fills me up with dread
i’m not finished yet
but won’t you take my life instead
what a way to be remembered
like a martyr for the cause
on a cross of scaffold boards
better than being ignored
who you calling simple now

fill me up with dread
i’m not finished yet
but won’t you take my life instead
what a way to be remembered
oh don’t take him away don’t take him away
do you want to see me crushed
oh don’t take him away don’t take him away
i gave away too much or i have lost too much or i have lost enough
