jackie boy 2.0

oh if these walls could talk

i would talk right back

i would talk

i would talk 'til they fade to black

the jack daniels don't soothe me no more

oh jackie boy

jackie boy

show me the door

show me peace

show me grief

show me what it means

to live a life so sunk it's not worthy to breathe

it's too early to see

it's too late to retreat

so the ship sails on to its perfect defeat

and i try to stay aboard

but when it rains

it pours

i drink a bottle of the captains 'til i wash up on shore

don't tell me how to live this life

i live this hell

i doubt the devil had an army until the angels fell

now wake up

i'll seek you out

flay you alive

one more word and you won't survive

and i'm not scared of your stolen power

i see right through you any hour

in such a place you either breathe or you suffocate

it's such a waste

don't you see what you've done to me

got

holes in my heart like the holes in my liver

it seems the less she take is the more i give her

so

never the winner

forever the stranger

you hate me for what i was

forget the good i do

a strange place where i keep my feelings

call it fort knox with a see through ceiling

cause where i stand i don't see the path

i see the past

i see the problems that await but i don't seem to act

so nothing's learned

no triumphant return

i never put out the fire

i just watch it all burn

thinking. felling any foe with my gaze

steadily emerging with grace

it's time to say goodbye

there ain't no more hellos

i set it all on fire

that's how the story goes

turn the page

let it fade

watch it decay

see the flame

let it rain

watch it be tamed

i see the bandage

i know that you know you damaged

i pray that you feel what i feel

and only hope that you panic

the message is in the bottle

the current will help deliver

there is no return to sender

like everything that i give her

i can fill the flask up

but can't get past us

i'm in the storm

stayin' strong

but can't get back up

a sudden change

the wind

will spin his game we're in

but when there's nothing to hold

you'd rather sink then swim

sing it

eyes on fire

your spine is ablaze

felling any foe with my gaze

and just in time

in the right place

steadily emerging with grace
