Brittle Bones

Sick selfish hearts, it’s my mess, but I digress again\nSick selfish hearts, it’s my mess, but I digress again\nI’ve seen the rope thrown to catch you tangle to a noose around your neck\nI’ve seen the floodgates you build against the bad things come apart brick by\nbrick\nI’ve seen the gold things fade to a slightly darker shade\nI’ve seen the lonely graves on the darkest days, when we had nothing to say\nHere’s to another year, a wretch\nHere’s to another year in wreck\nHere’s to the hell we go through\nHere’s to a royal fucking mess\nI guess we’re truly blessed\nI sort of recall a time that I thanked God I was alive\nAnd he looked me dead in the eye and he told me I’d be dead by twenty-five\nSick and tired of being restless, restless and tired of being sick\nHaven’t got a head or heart to call home, and I’m tired of wandering\nFound myself in a very dark place, bitterness washed down with another drink\nBeen away for a while now, and I’m tired of wandering\nSo rest assured my friend, you’ll wind up dying or wind up dead (Oh)\nIsn’t it funny how all the good things segue into dead-weight, with every step\nyou take?\nAnd the clock ticks, subtle and silent to the rhythm of your mistakes\nAnd the problems we create, and the clock ticks, again and again\nAnd we lay in the mess we’ve made\nSick and tired of being restless, restless and tired of being sick\nHaven’t got a head or heart to call home, and I’m tired of wandering\nFound myself in a very dark place, bitterness washed down with another drink\nBeen away for a while now, and I’m tired of wandering\nSick selfish hearts\nSick selfish hearts, this is my mess, but I digress\nIt’s getting old now, just sticks and stones now, brittle bones\nSo it goes, so you think\nI’ll have you know I love the taste of my own medicine, because you make me\nfucking sick
