lyrics

I scrapped the barrel at the bottom
To end up with someone as bad as you
My friends tried to warn me, I fought 'em
And now I'm that drunk with the blues as the bar
Spend my last penny to pay that tab
Now it's me with the booze and guitar
Stuck in the house but it's haunted with the memory of you and it's hard

Pulled down the shades like I'm mourning
Was leaving them up but it's making me cry
That first shot don't feel like a warning
Still putting it back before losing this high
Cause you did worse than any bottle could ever beat but believe I'm try
To squeeze the rest out of nothinf till the end of my road when I die

I'm buried in the couch beneath the pillows where all the nickels and the pennies hide
I'm there making moans and rattling chains
I'm laying roots before the new tenants buy
I'll be the booze-soaked spook beleaguring their cause
The ghost with a beef but keeps a drink in his claws
I keep to my quarters and never leave
Wait for orders I don't recieve and I'm sunk
Or maybe I'm just drunk

I've known the truth since we've started
And being alone I'm just wasting my time
I'm worse to myself since we parted
I need you around here to keep me in line
So I'll forgive all of your problems that ever grieved me if you forgive mine
Letting go is hard but it's worth it
If I end up with you then I'm fine
Letting go is hard but it's worth it
If I end up with you then I'm fine

if i shout that the revolutions in my blind heart have left me on the mend, would i still have to surrender to the tides to exorcise this possession?
by Field Medic

In a world of cookie-cutter songwriters, Field Medic is the real deal. I want to be just like him when I grow up. Favorite track on this album: "Flash Tattoos" M. the Heir Apparent
