I had wrists donning slits Flowing constantly My broken body is a wreck Wrapped around a tree A crosswalk hit and run The finish line for me People clutter in the gutter Take a look and see No escaping pain You belong to me Clinging onto life By the skin o' my teeth My blood flows through the streets Deluge from the wounds Empty jars of sleeping pills On the dresser in my room My wet brain neighbor cranes His neck to see in time The white lights a train Bearing down on me No escaping pain You belong to me Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth I won't feel the hurt I'm not trash any longer That that doesn't kill me Only makes me stronger I need a ride to the morgue Thats what 911 is for So, tag my toe and don't forget Ooh, to close the drawer No escaping pain You belong to me Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

Once The dogs have quit their barking "Son" My neighbor said to me "Know the emptiness of talking blue The same old sheep" Run I'll do no more this walking Haunted by a past I just can't see Anymore Anymore But let me tell you I have never planned To let go of the hand that has been Clinging by it's thick country skin To my yellow country teeth To my yellow country teeth Far Far away from West Virginia I Will try on New York City Explaining that the sky holds the Wind, the sun rushes in And a child with a shotgun can shoot down Honeybees that sting But this boy could use a little sting Alright Who Will get me to a party? Who Do I have yet to meet? You You look a bit like coffee And you taste a bit like me How Can I keep me from moving? Now I need a change of scenery Just listen to me I won't pretend to Understand the movement of the wind Or the waves out in the ocean or how Like the hours I change softly slowly Plainly blindly oh me oh my

Run, runaways Don't make a scene or rub it in my face Like you're dancing on the grave Of hunches that I had and smoked away It's too slow, like novocaine Take me back to when I felt okay We're not the same Build a bridge or burn what's in your way I've seen the way you look at him It's crawling underneath my skin If moving on is the medicine You're all out and I'm all in Go everywhere we used to be I've seen the way you look at him You're all out and I'm all in Hold, hold the phone Months of pacing living rooms alone Magnifying the tone Let go of the reigns and hope they're wrong It sounds like velvet, this old excuse Is one I thought we'd never have to use Know I'm not who you'll choose Two can win then one is bound to lose I've seen the way you look at him It's crawling underneath my skin If moving on is the medicine You're all out and I'm all in Go everywhere we used to be I've seen the way you look at him You're all out and I'm all in

Now that I'm thinking sober Don't you try to get no closer I'm just gonna get in my car and drive, and drive Looking in the rearview mirror Everything is so much clearer Watch me wave it all goodbye, goodbye The light's flashing, giving me all the danger signs Someone to save, to save But it don't work that way Think you made your greatest mistake I'm not gonna call this a break Think you really blew it this time Think you could walk on such a thin line Won't be taking your midnight calls Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall I see it written on your face You know you made it, your greatest mistake When the last straw is broken When the last door is closing I ain't that dumb to stick around, stick around I ain't got the time for looking back Gonna let yourself slip through the cracks And you just keep going down, down, down I'mma stay undercover Lay low need some time No one to save, to save This sick cycle's over, babe Think you made your greatest mistake I'm not gonna call this a break Think you really blew it this time Think you could walk on such a thin line Won't be taking your midnight calls Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall I see it written on your face You know you made it, your greatest mistake Why you looking at me, spitting that same old lie Trying to bring back, ain't no flipping my mind Don't you get it by now the story's over, over? Still calling my name outside my house I'm hitting the switch Watch the lights go out Watch the lights go out I hope you ache, ache, ache oh, oh I hope you ache, ache, ache oh, oh Think you made your greatest mistake I'm not gonna call this a break Think you really blew it this time Think you could walk on such a thin line Won't be taking your midnight calls Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall I see it written on your face You know you made it, your greatest mistake

Locked up tight Like I would never feel again Stuck in some kind of love prison And threw away the key, oh, oh Terrified Until I stared into your eyes Made me stop to realise The possibilities So, so I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken I'm gonna say it like it's never been spoken Tonight, tonight, I'm letting go, go, go, go I'm gonna give it like it's never been taken I'm gonna fall like I don't need saving Tonight, tonight, I'm letting go, go, go, go So played out The same lies with a different face But there's something in the words you say That makes you all feel so real I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken I'm gonna say it like it's never been spoken Tonight, tonight, I'm letting go, go, go, go I'm gonna give it like it's never been taken I'm gonna fall like I don't need saving Tonight, tonight, I'm letting go, go, go No need for me to run, run, run You're making me believe in everything No need to go and hide, hide, hide Gonna give you every little piece of me I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken I'm gonna say it like it's never been spoken Tonight, tonight, I'm letting go, I'm letting go, go I'm gonna give it like it's never been taken I'm gonna fall like I don't need saving Tonight, tonight, I'm letting go, go, go
