Every Time I Die - For The Record lyrics

rate me

God knows I've longed to feel something but now's not the time. <br />I'm caught up in the heartless disorder of a Friday night. <br />Focused on staying distracted until I lose sight of the tiresome and clinical patterns of my life. <br />I will cherish this love for the rest of my night. <br />One day I'll find myself facing the firing line. <br />Serves me right. <br />For the record I've written my crimes. <br />I will cherish this love for the rest of my night. <br /> <br />Lord have mercy on my soul. <br />I've had a good run but I can't run anymore. <br />Just put me down. <br />Lord have mercy on my soul. <br />I've had a good run but I can't run anymore. <br />Just put me down. <br /> <br />Can't sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail. <br />I've let them devour my heart for some material. <br />But I'm a drunkard, a coward, a crook. I ought to change my ways. <br />Face the music. Carry the can. Etcetera. Etcetera. <br />What's next? <br />Trust me, I'm still with you somewhere. I just wish it was here. <br />Someday I'm bound to feel guilty but now's not the time. <br />I'm sure I'll get what I'm due. <br />Everything will be fine. <br />Hell bent on finding the next fix in the fog. <br />You're in a cab on the way to your house. Change the locks. <br />I will cherish this love for the rest of the night. <br /> <br />Lord have mercy on my soul. <br />I've had a good run but I can't run anymore. <br />Just put me down. <br />Lord have mercy on my soul. <br />I've had a good run but I can't run anymore. <br />Just put me down. <br /> <br />Can't sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail. <br />I let them devour my heart for some material <br />But I'm a drunkard, a coward, a crook. I ought to change my ways. <br />Face the music. Carry the can. Etcetera. Etcetera. <br />Please forgive me.<br /><br />
