I was sittin' in the rocking chair by the side of the house
Where streetlight stars and all the highway cars
Claps and it drips on your window
I'll get something to eat, but all these spaces I meet
Seem so hypnotizing
These eyes are exits to be
And things ain't what they used to be
Got this flickering heart set out after me
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
I find the devil inside me and I nail 'em back down
Whoa!
And the days didn't come around, shivered at the sight
Finally looking out these hoping eyes, all strings pulled, put me aside
I'll slowly die for my sins swallow my sins whole
Cause eyes they were bigger than they ever were ohhhhh
And things ain't what they used to be
Got this flickering heart set out after me
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
I find the devil inside me and I nail 'em back down
Whoa!
