The Casting Out - Alone lyrics

rate me

I can't find a way to sleep, <br />

So I guess I'll just surrender, <br />

And let this town have it's way.<br />

If I just took time to breathe, <br />

I could hear ol' hank a warning... <br />

Not to go down this way.<br />

<br />

The bars are open wide, <br />

And your friends they lie in waiting... <br />

On this I've learned I can rely.<br />

They are plotting as they dance, <br />

Hiding fraud within their smiles.<br />

Kiss and hug with knives in hand<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

Spitting lies, just to find... <br />

There's a reason why we're never satisfied.<br />

From the long walk home, <br />

To the reasons why we go to bed alone<br />

<br />

Hey this whiskey must be broken, <br />

Cause it ain't hardly working<br />

To erase her from my mind.<br />

Get on up and stumble home<br />

As the vultures plot behind you... <br />

To pick the meat right from your bones<br />

<br />

Oh god... my soul, my life, <br />

Please don't let her see that I'm falling apart.<br />

The streetlights burn so bright, <br />

And all the way home they remind me of... <br />

The night she stole my heart.</
