Brand New - Millstone lyrics

rate me

I used to be such a burning example,

I used to be so original.

I used to care, I was being cared for.

Made sure I showed it to those that I love.

I used to sleep without a single stir,

'Cause I was about my father's work.

Well take me out tonight,

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

A millstone around my neck,

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray a God was listening.

I used to make my parents proud.

I was the glue that kept my friends together,

Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed.

Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

Take me out tonight,

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

A millstone around my neck,

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Throw me that lifeline,

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

A millstone around my neck.

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Never hit the brakes.

There's no time to save him,

He's run out in the street.

Anybody know his name?

I think I recognize him.

(Sure it's him?)

He's made from our mistakes.

Woah.

Woah.

So take me out tonight.

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

A millstone around my neck.

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

To save my life tonight.

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

A millstone around my neck.

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
