lyrics

Call me up drunk; you wanna relive
what I thought was lost.
Well I was doing so much better
before you came back to sing your siren song.

Now I feel the dread
of having you back in my head.
Oh how you bring those sleepless nights
and a headstream of laments…

With your fickle ways
and your weightless words.
You feel so entitled
to have the last word.
When your mouth's open
you pretend that mine is shut.
You believe your words lose their weight
when the alcohol leaves your blood.

So I have to believe that:
You are a temptress.
You are a seductress.
And I've been misled
too many times before
by your siren song.
So for my sanity's sake
I've plugged my ears with stone.

But when I've been drinking
the stone starts crack.
Yeah it's when I'm lonely
I get the urge to answer back.
I drown all logic
and hope for another side of you.
It's a bet on a carousel horse;
Yeah that's the sad truth.

You pick what works for you;
It's a political game, a fucking ruse.
Always find myself on the losing end
making the wrong moves again and again.

When the TV's on with a bottle in hand
singing lonesome songs
in the lonely dawn;
I won't place my bet to get no return at all.

I won't place it again...

I know what I like and aspire to write like the bands and songwriters that inspire me while at the same time putting my own personal stamp on the music. In the words of Frank Turner, "I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound, but I try to make it sound like home..." ... more
