I used to labor in anger, waiting for my life to truly begin
I wore a scowl atop my face, atop a neck tightened to the wind
I’d look to every horizon line to lead me to the promise land
Only to find that I never found where I didn’t live in regret
But I’d take every knife in my back
Every fist to my head
Every shot across the bow
I’d die all over again
From every bloody little sin
That lead me right here right now
With a path as gnarly as my twisted little mind
With every pound of flesh I paid I longed to go back in time
Wherever I wound up, I dreamt my life a dream that I could wake up from
It felt like every step I took seemed a slight against everyone
But I’d take every knife in my back
Every fist to my head
Every shot across the bow
I’d die all over again
From every bloody little sin
That lead me right here right now
And You
You give me pause
So I’ll give you up my sleep
You take away this ache so I can take anything
You wreck my nerves
You damn near kill me
And that’s exactly what I need
But I’d take every knife in my back
Every fist to my head
Every shot across the bow
I’d die all over again
From every bloody little sin
That lead me right here right now
