from the crib into the ground...

close my eyes forever
close my eyes forever
this link between us unneeded tethers

one more time
one more time
just one more i promise

lie
lie
lie again and again

when the struggle ends
and the soldiers put down their guns
will you walk home or lay down for good?

when the struggle ends
and the girls put away their hearts
will you straighten your dress and play the part?

don't stop
don't stop
push past the pain

lie
lie
lie again and again

push past the pain
lie again and again

push past the pain
lie again and again

i could be better
I could cut tears on my face
It could rip my chest open
It could wrench away my faith

drink smoke forget
gorge purge choke it down
someday I'll make sense of it
someday I'll dig it from the ground
