lyrics

i was spent like a shell
like a humble imitation
of a greater incarnation of myself
i was lit like a burning car
it was nothing i just saw you &
i thought that i would ask you how you are

there's no other ending
since i stopped pretending
no one cares for a lucky man
i'll arrest myself with a bloody hand
i'll deny the ones i love with my last breath
OK amen

i was hit: i could crawl
the extent of my involvement
isn't clear to me as far as i recall
i was new like a box of blades
like a bullet never fired
growing tired of the echoes its repaid

there's no other ending
since i stopped pretending
no one cares for a lucky man
i'll arrest myself with a bloody hand
i'll deny the ones i love with my last breath
OK amen
