lyrics

All my heroes sit up straight
they gaze at the ground — they radiate
Me, I’m mumblin’ in the kitchen for the sun to pay up lonely as a ring on a cold coffee cup
I’m some sick animal, I’m diggin’ for bones
if it weren’t for second chances we’d all be alone
These are the strangest hands I’ve ever seen I can’t believe they belong to me
turning my pockets for a note that you left cuppin’ my ear to hear the wind confess:
“I’m a ghost in the garden, I’m scarin’ the crows.” If it weren’t for second chances, we’d all be alone
Now I’m runnin’ from nothing, no thoughts in my mind Yeah my heart was all black, but I saw something shine Thought that part was yours but it might just be mine
I could share it with you if you gave me the time
Now I’m all bloody knuckles and longin’ for home, If it weren’t for second chances we’d all be alone
I’m shot through the head, I’m a black sinkhole
If it weren’t for second chances we’d all be alone
