lyrics

Kicking around the old state hospital
The rattling chains of somebody’s pain gathering badges for the honor roll
I heard a door slam late last night
Voices hum down the corridor
I feel like a bastard late to the fight
With a nose for the fist and a head for the floor

I hoped you would cradle me down
Words soaked through
Is it over yet

Emptying out my Gran Gran’s pharmacy
Handfuls of benzo washed down the drain
She won’t need it now just to sleep off the pain
She was a dream late last night
Goodbye for now as we dodge a kiss
Back to the ground and away from the fight
Sleeping better now than she ever did

I hoped you would cradle me down
Words soaked through
Is it over yet

Now it’s always more convenient to pretend we didn’t see it
If you walked across the coals you stoked than you probably wouldn’t mean it
Hell you just might quote a parable to convince us you’re less terrible
Though we know we’ll be forgotten once your boots are beneath your end table

I hoped you would cradle me down
Words soaked through
Is it over yet
