Just for the record there she lays
shedding fur in patches and pulling at her face
I've been taking these things all night long
Hoping it will make me tired
Hoping it will keep me strong
keep me strong
Bloodshot and blue
I can smell the guns
through the bedroom walls
I can hear them run
Angels scurrying like rats
until the daylight comes
And if it's me locked inside this box
Then I pray that my love can pick these locks
Oh no, here we go again
You try and you try
to untie the knots
With the grace of a sailor
and the will of a box
Both shaking like a leaf
Both staring at the lights
Both trying not to sleep
Both trying not to fight
And it's nights like this
When I'm scared to death
Will the morning come quickly
Will there be anything left?
Here we go again
The house finds the hush
And the battlefield is soft
And the footprints where a man and a woman have walked
Where a man and a woman have walked
