lyrics
I’m the smoking gun you used to draw the line
something dripping out the corner of your mind
She never seems to look me in the eyes
She made me kiss my hand and roll the dice
I don’t believe in anything I cannot prove
I couldn’t breathe cause I suffocating you
Well she held me down as I fell to my knees
She said I’ll try and give you something to believe
Will I feel
Yes I’ll feel for you
How I feel
How I feel for you
I had a half a mind to bring you back around
So I could drive this ship right down into the ground
Well a firing squad could never make this right
They were burning books quite deep into the night
How ideal
How Ideal for you
But I deal
Yes I deal with you
She drags me down,
She drags me down,
Yes she drags me down, down, down into the ground
