lyrics

on the final time around
we danced upon the sacred ground
i cursed the god of time
and found the hand she wasn't showing
for when I floated on your sea
i drowned in unknown alchemy
and with it all the freight that you were towing
cuz in the folds of you and me
it's hard to feel the parts of real love slowing

i was out for blood that nigh
the bourbon couldn't make it right
the fall of well-intended men is subtle and unspoken
i drank until I burst a seam
and with it this ungoverned dream
you burn the holy breaker out
it cannot be unbroken
cuz in the folds of you and me
it's hard to feel the parts of real love slowing

so cut me down low with a razor blade
let it out slow like a lost parade
flood it back in when your mind is made
so only you know if the price was paid

darkness is a friend of mine
she takes me dancing every night
i never get the answer right
to ever send her packing
so I gamble on the truth to get
my body on a better set
of cards to make a winning bet
with chips that I'm not stacking

so throw your stones I will not hide
among the waves or in the tide
upon the lowest horse all ride wherever it is going
and in the night times when I'll pray
your thoughts of me will fade away
and love for lonely men my kind
you'll never be growing
cuz in the throes of you and me
it's hard to see the pain of real love showing
