Lyrics

Mama go make my bed
Tuck in the absurd
These confessions are mine
But I'll not claim a word
This restless parade
Guess I watched it go by
Through the cracks in my palm
Seen them all gone
Some sequence of lies
Well, she calls out alone
With the pain in her voice
It's the wound of betrayal
It's the weapon of choice
Left her heart on display
Though that she'll deny
Two tattoos of skin
One of ice, one of tin
For the days of gone by
But I ain't one to reminisce
Close my heart and clench my fist
Now the days swiftly pass
With a chest full of fear
Here the minutes are hours
But the moments are years
And old acquaintances pass
In trios, in pairs
If they stay or they go
One struggles to know
One struggles to care
But out beyond the tetry walls
The wind blows hard, the highway calls
And if you should pass
The James Hotel
Please stop in
For I knew you well
But that was oh so long ago
And I never learned how to let go
But when you fear your own thoughts
And you're sick of this life
When you're reckless of hand
And trembling of knife
And though your doors prefer locks
And your death prefers spoons
Why wouldn't you wait
One last laugh at fate
Forever's too soon
Across the field the deathbell knells
Listen close, hear the toll tell
To run and
My time is short, my breath is shrewd
My days are few
So please come down and take my hand
My last demand
And lead me to some slender rest
And please dismiss what I confess
