Honor thy killer I thank you all for leaving
I thank you though nothing's for sure
And nothing's for certain but I know a girl
Who's perfectly worth waiting for
She retreats to the gardens confesses to water
And leaves the lake muddy and soiled
From diluvial wreckage this simple conversion
And nature's brave weapons recoil for her
And I may feel different since I wrote this down
With every dark dream equidistant
The psychic foreclosures force down our eyes
Until no one can find any quiet
In dreams you can't dream but when you're awakened
The vault of the sky opens to you
Just calm yourself down kid take it easy
This'll get better it has to for her
Captain my courage subsided and twisted
And I can guess more than your name
Unholy remora you're not hard to figure kid
We put the shameless to shame
Those chapfallen beauties they're all small beer
And fictional pictures of pride
So I find myself on the edge of a system
Where folly and freedom collides for her
The family blood needs no introduction
This evening's amusement you've chosen
We all shoot to kill but more often miss
And still no one I know feels lucky
I'm shaking my fist at the thunderous chiming
I made what was right so wrong
What good are these stations if luck is my savior
I'm lucky I held on this long for her
You wanna see what happened if you ran away
Well it got so crazy around here
It wasn't even light when everything shut down
I gave it too much gas and I flooded it
I think I'm losing my luck think I'm losing my luck
I was jumping the line I was kicking the bull
Days this long draw out
Sometimes there's simply no middle ground
Who's gonna keep me from freaking out
You can live in the city you can move outta town
You're always two steps behind what you're chasin'
There are more days behind than days ahead
Who can tell who can know who can see
It's hard to believe
But there's a steel breeze still blowin' on the back of me
And the river's wider than a thousand skies
Days this long draw out
When everything on earth seems to shout out loud
I wonder what they're always going on about
Days this long draw out
Sometimes there's simply no middle ground
Who's gonna keep me from freaking out
