lyrics

I wrote you a letter yesterday
Then I burned a hole where I wrote your name
There's no point in wishing and hoping
Nothing gets fixed by taking blame

I put the letter in a box under my bed
With cigarettes, liquor, and rat poison
All the things that make me a better man
The things I use to swallow my sin

Now my sisters coming to pick me up
She's gonna take me out and fix me up
Sure right now I need a crutch
But that's just how we learn to stand back up
I've spent too long lying down
I'm getting sick of these same old sounds
I'm just so tired of feeling pinned to the ground
Now nothing in this world's going to keep me down

There's sweat dripping down my temple
There's a fire in my blood
There's smoke clinging to every wall
And there's nothing outside but mud

This whole house is a goddamn mess
But that's not your fault and it never was
It's not like you were some kind of succubus
I just loved you but didn't know who I was

Now my sisters coming to pick me up
She's gonna take me out and fix me up
Sure right now I need a crutch
But that's just how we learn to stand back up
I've spent too long lying down
I'm getting sick of these same old sounds
I'm just so tired of feeling pinned to the ground
Now nothing in this world's going to keep me down
