A Bullet Goes a Mile

from Chemical Trains ep by Sick Sick Birds

/

lyrics

grew up with a girl who said 'i don't care' one too many times. then she met someone who was only too happy to help her make up her mind. but he left her so soon, like a hotel room. still a mess and just in time. over and over, so dissapointed. like she was the only one.

reaching for the reset. you've got enough sense to change the subject when a bullet goes a mile. and little by little, all her friends will become the villains. when a bullet goes a mile.

we're born so scared. blood is blood, it's the family curse. those scars, still there. ask the questions and you only make it worse. so get out while you can. it takes more to leave than to remain. every insult she saves. the congratulations go out with the junkmail.

frozen by a line in her favorite book. she missed the significance at first.
you better remember, you better jump. you're just another legionaire. forget about your sweet sojourn, you're headed home alone to your bed of nails.

so hold your breath, because here we go. when you step on every crack for spite
and might makes right, you try to do the most damage. it's all you know. won't take your own advice out of force of habit. always thinking, poison leaking, given a chance you'll sink this ship to the bottom. it's all you know.
