I've been waiting for this pain to subside All of this dark is taking me for a ride It seems that all I have known Is how to lay down and die I've been hiding all these scars on my hands Painful reminders of what I really am There's been way too many nights That I have lost my head All these times have finally taken its toll I can feel the whiskey burning my soul I've seen it taken many lives It's nearly taking my own If I could take back the things that I've done And be the perfect man that everyone wants There would be nothing left to become I wouldn't live all my life on the run But Everybody's got their dues to pay One step closer to our final day And when I finally find the words I could say I'd hush my mouth and take them to my grave To my grave I can hear the demons calling my name Pushing me closer to the edge of insane It seems that all I've learned Is how to bury the pain But I'll keep crawling back out of that hole Try and keep ahold of my heavy soul In all my days I've never seen A heavier load If I could take back the things that I've done And be the perfect man that everyone wants There would be nothing left to become I wouldn't live all my life on the run But Everybody's got their dues to pay One step closer to our final day And when I finally find the words I could say I'd hush my mouth and take them to my grave To my grave If I could take back the things that I've done And be the perfect man that everyone wants There would be nothing left to become I wouldn't live all my life on the run But Everybody's got their dues to pay One step closer to our final day And when I finally find the words I could say I'd hush my mouth and take them to my grave To my grave
