Try to drown it in Bourbon, and kill it with Gin, try to ease the burden of unoriginal sin. Drink to remember, drink forget, trying to figure out what it is I regret.
At the end of my teather. I’m at the end of my rope. But I’m no longer crippled by a false sense of hope.
I built us a home out of Papier-Mâché it’s all cardboard and styrofoam. But on a fresh coat of paint, try to be what I aint for you (for you…).
Like nothing that came before it, like nothing I’d ever seen, I saw it all so clearly when my world came crashing in. And nobody knows what lies around the bend, and some things worth fighting for weren’t so worth it in the end.
At the end of my teather. I’m at the end of my rope. But I’m no longer crippled by a false sense of hope.
I built us a home out of Papier-Mâché it’s all cardboard and styrofoam. But on a fresh coat of paint, try to be what I aint for you (for you…).
For you… I tape it up and I spackel the cracks. Tried to patch it up as good as I could for you (For you)…
I try to drown it in Bourbon, and kill it with Gin, try to ease the burden of unoriginal sin.
