in bitter safety i awake
into this world gone wrong
things can’t be how they look
or they wouldn’t last too long
in sweet fear I dream
of oblivion’s girl
but with these five senses
i’m nailed to the world

CHORUS
so give me room to breathe
and a voice to call my own
give me rum & milk
to stoke the fire in my bones

i tried hard to be good
i tried harder to care
but i dont think there’s a heaven worth the effort to get there
so i’ll leave behind what’s right and focus on what’s left
if the truth’s an odd number then it’s three against the rest

CHORUS
