Lyrics The Brink - Have Nots

The Brink

Just a couple more days' son, things are looking up today
Set the date for the parade and ticker tape the city
Cos the blood on your hands has become nothing
You’re coming home boy through hell and high water
But Johnny, see well he ain’t coming
It proved too much to take, he blew away the heartache
With an army issue but he ain’t no, no he ain’t no KIA
It just proved too much to take
He said «there ain’t no better days for me»
«cos' all my friends are fading day to day»
Tell me is this what you’re reading;
Would you believe me when I say?
That the light that shined is dying dimming grey
And it’s a minor melody, fading in front of me
Another vacation day in the sun setting on no horizon
As the phantom six-gun shooter lingers along
And day by day man I decay
And loose a hold of a heart too young to break
I say the harmony you read we see in the dying eyes
And you know nothing at all
It just proved too much to take
He said «there ain’t no better days for me»
«cos' all my friends are fading day to day»
Tell me is this what you’re reading;
Would you believe me when I say?
That the light that shined is dying dimming grey
And it’s a minor melody, fading in front of me
And I say I’ve reached the brink, and that there ain’t no better days
Cos' it’s a minor melody, fading in front of, fading in front of me
