lyrics

Used to leave out the church house feeling low,
Now I'm leaving this barroom the same.
Whether it's the pew or the stool holding me up,
I find pain just does what it must.
Pain just does what it must.

Don't want to speak, don't want to listen.
Don't want to give a goddamn.
You build your hope from glass and everything's a stone to cast,
There's nothing I could say.
There's nothing I want to say.

Cause outside my window the harshest of men
Are swinging their fists at the moon's pearly grin.
And I wish I knew what to do,
I wish I knew what to do.
But I don't.

This town feels like an altar,
This town wreaks of regret.
Never really knew how to crawl and confess
I'm still bleeding the same,
I'm still bleeding the same.

Cause outside my window are the places I've been,
Things I've called home and a grin I've called friend.
Every sharp silence every spark in my mind,
I fear the bridge burns at the distant state line.
So sing of your lightning, man,
Sing of your heart.
And I hope I'm not always your shot in the dark.
I wish I knew what to do.
I wish I knew what to do.
But I don't.
