Song Description

I wrote this while watching a friend go through a drug problem. It is a commentary of the deterioration of someones character.

Lyrics

Promises
You don't come around
Untill you're bleeding or
Looking for some way to score.
You turn me out, like a ship lay lost
Stranded on the shore.
Bruised by the waves
In your seal implies, your promises are in vain

I close my eyes and remember a girl
Who smiled all the time.
When did you decide our love was
Just a waste of our time.
I' ve seen so many, lonely lonely lonely lives
Can I remind you, you said you'd always be mine.
There's always a clause to what you say
But your words felt so true yesterday.

You stole the rhythm out of my heart.
And nailed me to the wall like a piece of art.
Bruised and worn by the ways
Your soul paints black clouds on my fate.

When you come around, I'll be beating myself up
For believing you again.
All of your sins,
Are like a ball and chain
Carried by your friends
We're just pawns in your game
Your'e a recking ball swinging through our brains.
Such a beautiful phrase makes me believe
You could change.
And then I realize, your promises are in vain.
