lyrics

When I'm alone I dig up the graves in me / when I'm alone I beg of my head to just sleep / this bedroom's a church and my thoughts are all singing to me / lining the pews & spitting those words from their knees / I know not where the hell I will go but I do know just what I need / a fist that won't fail me & some low cunning / its been a while since I lost my old girl to my fears / I don't think she'll take me back now after I made her use up all them tears / but I'm tired of kissing those dive bar ghosts in the dark / they haunt me til morning light comes and death do us part / I know not where the hell could love me now but I know just what I need / a fist that don't fail me and some low cunning //
