lyrics

Well my darling I hope that this letter finds you well
I’m on the road to somewhere, I think it might be hell
For those lights dragged me in as a moth to a flame
And now my soul lies a bloodied corpse on the river’s edge

Oh, it’s when I lost my mind
Gotta get myself together but now just ain’t the time

I was born in the suburbs, I worked hard all my life
Never had the cash to buy a diamond for my pretty wife
So I saw my chance and I took it with both hands
But that jewel in my city’s crown hides in the shifting sands

Oh, I fooled myself, I was fooled in kind
Gotta get myself together but now just ain’t the time

Do you know how it feels to have your pride ripped from you
Like you were only ever half a man?
Do you know how it feels to have your only son recoil
When you stretch out one trembling hand?

Well maybe it was always lies, I dunno shit no more
But it was a promise broken from a rich man to the poor
And as I drive down this western road I’ve never seen
I think about how big that big win could’ve been

Oh, shame made me blind
Gotta get myself together, but now just ain’t the time

So my darling I hope that wherever you are
You think of me in the high rollers’ room smoking a fat cigar
I made you so many promises, I broke every single one
I dug myself a big dark hole, and now my digging’s done

Oh, forget me and move on with your life
Gotta get myself together but now just ain’t the time
