Lyrics
And its all we have
Cold blister in the middle of the night
And its all we have
Cold distance in a night of hell
Up down push and pull
If I'm the idiot then you're the fool
In and out
You gone and made it so there is no doubt
That that's all we have
Sensitive touching under cold grey skies
And you can get your kicks
Even if you need a daily fix
And you can beat those kids
If you only learn the golden rule
And that's all we have
An everlasting moment
Dim disguise
But it's all we have
Knowledge formed out of a diet of lies
Come in and I'll show and I'll show you what a world we can live in
Come in and I'll show you and I'll show you
Come in to the light with your fortitude
Buy an entrance paid with more magnitude
Try not to impress with your niceties
We'll be so impressed by what you say
Just a country boy form an urban state
Just an opposition to my own true fate
Just an opportunist layin' waste
With a messed up unit behind my face
Just an officer of my broken will
Pasted onto life with an easy glue
Come apart in ways right in front of you
Come apart in ways I'm confronting you
With the naked realization of the common fact
We can both catch up on the daily facts
If the world stopped turning in the way it does
I can see straight through my head of fuzz
Now I'm trying to make a difference in my own small way
Maybe write a little story on a life I take
Maybe take you on a journey through what's at stake
With a well placed question like what is hate?
I crawled up right up into the place I was born again
I called to find out if I could be a mess
I crawled inside my own levity to break guitars
To fall inside something I considered best
To play a rock guitar
With a killer band
Under shining lights
With my mic in hand
Hear my battle cry
Hear my cattle call
I sometimes think
I don't even care at all
Tap into this world of conversation
Turn yourself into the brightest light
Make yourself into something unfamiliar
Rely on all of your senses teaching all of what is true
'cause I'm definitely broken by the mundane
Almost so ashamed to live my truth
Here's another person I would fight for
Just another dying puppet wing
Here's another reason for disaster
I belong to no one
Feed me on all your fucking sins
On all your fucking sins
On all your fucking sins
