lyrics

A battered hand that hurts when it rains
Pictures on the wall reminders of irrelevant days
A nothing job that barely pays
The need to improve in countless ways

And it was all a sham
Nothing left to do
I’ve figured it out
And I know it’s true
What I had going for me was you

A dependence on drugs that nags every day
A terrible headache that won’t go away
A cadre of friends that don’t know me in any way
The castle I built was made out of clay

My tears on the table
A little pools on the wood
My thoughts are like knives
That just keep drawing blood
