lyrics

I went to meet you the sun blaring in my eyes
I should’ve known it’d be the day that I died
So I handed the money and accepted the deed
My heart and thoughts spent, laid out in full bleed
And with agreeances behind you cut the final thread
Left me for what I was, what I am, for dead

Remind me again, the opposite of saved
I wanted something that I couldn’t name
You killed me with your killing knife
I knew I was no good

And all the while your words ringing my ears
If there’s a thought that’s eating at your head
You’ve got to do what you need to get done
And kill that thing dead
No second guesses, no last chances, no negative thoughts
At least that’s what my father said
And he said it a god damn lot

So I hatched a plan, fool proof and well fed
Took an axe to the walls, gasoline to the beds
And I stepped into the night with the wind at my back
And my own true self echoing around my head
See I’ll start the stove and open the gas
Left a note for my son beneath the willow out back

Remind me again, the opposite of saved
I wanted something that I could not name
You killed me with your killing knife
I knew I was no good

And all the while your words ringing my ears
If there’s a thought that’s eating at your head
You’ve got to do what you need to get done
And kill that thing dead
No second guesses, no last chances, no negative thoughts
At least that’s what my father said
And he said it a god damn lot

First came the dogs, sniffing and biting
Cruisers in the driveway, alarms flashing like lightning
Sift through the ash just the cast iron smoldering
And a text beneath the willow where the hounds had been loitering
Said don’t be a fool, but don’t think yourself too smart
This life’s not a game, it’s a hell of an art
And don’t ever lose track of the wind at your back
Just do what you can
Even when you can’t
