lyrics

There's a guilty old man in this young man's body, and he thinks that all he's thought has all been forgotten.
He don't understand the ways he falls.
I'm sweatin' out the shakes with the pills on my Bible, and a whiskey in my hands, it's all for survival.
I never once thought you'd be the architect of my ruin.

If I'm gonna waste my time,
I'm damn sure gonna waste it on you.
I sit right here while this old city waits.
You can tell me something I love,
But I don't love as much as you.
I always heard the greatest sin was waste.

If you're always moving, you don't have to sit and think about who you are.

Everyone's scared, this whole country's a mess.
The sun's rising on the east and setting on the west.
The big ol' boys in the towers shake in their boots.
I found a nice place to lay my shame.
In a rusty mailbox, addressed with your name.
Everyone thinks they deserve something pure.

If I'm gonna blame someone,
I'm damn sure gonna blame it on you.
I linger here while this old city waits.
With a knife in it's teeth and a rose on it's breath,
It's hanging around waiting for death, and I'm holding the match to send it up in flames.
