lyrics

Just taking what my daddy said i should do for a living,
i know it's not my best attempt but i know he'll be livid,
if it's nothing at all,
just doing what my momma said i was best known for doing,
i'm burning all these bridges down leaving my life in ruins,
til theres nothing at all,

i hate to see your eyes this way i don't know if i can take it,
so let me sell you better lies til your heart isn't breaking,
these walls bleed blue and grey and i know that i can't stay,
just certify me insane and i'll leave here without a trace of evidence,

just give me one more chance to say,
before you make your great escape,
"i can feel you burrowing in my bones"
just give me one more chance to greave,
before you pack up and leave,
yeah i know it's you,

just taking what my daddy said i should do for a living,
i know it's not my best attempt but i know he'll be livid,
if it's nothing at all
