lyrics

It's the first night in town, bury me beneath the bar
Where I stand I'll be found again (drown me in your twisted love)
I ain't got much to give and what I got I already don't deserve
I'll be sure to do this again (drown me in death from above)

I ain't got much to give
What I got is wit sharp as a tack and two crossed fingers behind my back
We hit the bottle hard and fast like our backpacks were parachutes
Falling faster

I've found the glitch to life so the party never ends
It's taken me this long to learn what to do with my hands

Let it rain
Running drink for drink with my personal best so I'll die with a friend

I'm out for blood, I want momentum
I want the day to roll and the night to stay giving
Give me oblivion, give me soul
What lies beyond tonight's I don't wanna know

It's the first night in town, bury me beneath the bar
Where I stand I'll be found again (drown me in your twisted love)
I ain't got much to give and you deserve so much more
I'll be sure to do this again (drown me in death from above)

I ain't got much to give
What I got is wit sharp as a tack and two crossed fingers behind my back
We hit the bottle hard and fast like our backpacks were parachutes
Falling faster

I want the curse, I want to please
I want the insanity of a tiring night in the sheets
I want it all, I want it now
Whiskey in the glass and a beat on the brow

God and the devil have found a common enemy
Though I lead a benevolent dissonant tale of unintended debris
God and the devil have found a common enemy
And it's me
