Pills, Promises & Pure Regret

by The Gospel Youth

/

lyrics

Well that bottle in your hand, is it your fourth or is it your fifth
I’m sure you had something to tell me but with your slur, it must’ve slipped
between the pills and pure regret that you’ve been hammering away all night
and in the morning when you wake up, yeah just do it all again
you say you’re getting close to closure, but I’m losing you my friend
between the hangovers and hangups on the conquests of the night before

is this really who you are? are you who you want to be?
I found your lifeless bones just laying in the street
tell me where you’re gonna stop, that last line you want to cross
I just need to know where you’re gonna stop
so I can get you home

What’s it like to see your passion swallowed up or poured away?
Cause I spent more time than money on watching mine just do the same
You are the name upon your knuckles, you are the tales you tell to all your friends
Destruction brings upon creation, so burn those last few bridges down
Cover all your house in mirrors, so you can see what you are now
but promise me you’ll stand up taller when fire’s cleared away from your mouth.

is this really who you are? are you who you want to be?
I found your lifeless bones just laying in the street
tell me where you’re gonna stop, that last line you want to cross
I just need to know where you’re gonna stop
so I can get you home

I know the whiskey on your lips, extends the fire in your heart
You think you’re tearing down the walls, but its yourself you tear apart
I know all about lighting fires, but at some point it’s gotta stop
Tell me brother when’s the last match gonna drop

promise me, next time next time you’ll do better
