lately I've been writing letters to everyone
trying to explain away my actions
and reactions to everything while I used to
romanticize my drunkenness now my bottle has run dry
the river has bled itself into the deep black ink in my pen
and the bloody ink in my veins could run stone cold like
a freshly fallen snow Ive been glowing in the dark
sleeping in the park
this town will tear you apart if you let burn it self down
justify rationalize its been weeks but its still weak
the needle scratches holes in records
the screech the rush it brings you to your knees
a cigarette was smoking bad cause I pressed it
to my lips they were hungry for your hips
and impolite sex sounds nice turn off all the lights
and dont forget the waltz in the dark
these are the forms that make us human
in three four time
well I sat on the floor and I
opened up the book
the autobiography of a man dressed in black
and the story that he told
of crawling into caves dark with drugs
and lost loves and not wanting to come back
it was the lord he said
came to him and led him
back to the light
yeah the lord yeah the lord
who the fuck is the lord
he said that his cave was darker than a grave
and as I'm digging it I dont doubt it
but the lord he said he came to him
and led him back to the light
yeah the lord yeah the lord
who the fuck is the lord <3
