lyrics

Sent her best brave sons to dissolve the best part of us. I’m a boxer and she’s a cheat. What a sad mix of defeats. When we dance we jab and we fade. When I look at her I see the pain. And I don’t always pay the rent, she never seems to remember what I says, how we ever found each other’s depths is a mystery. It’s the rhythm of your heart, it’s the timbre of your wrongs. The melody’s that kiss, when you let your lips part. I could listen to you all day, I could wake up in your wake.
Yeah I swagger cause I feel free. Even though I’m being pushed around by those old gods that screw and taste, by those withered hands that count the change. And I’m a soldier of bottles and blame. I’m the king pin of this lane. Yeah I hold her in this summer heat. Making promises, being sweet. Yeah I’m out there like everyday but I can’t seem to catch a break. But she still likes the way I believe in ghosts and fair fights and muscle and loyalty.
