I slipped out my bones
And left you my shell
To beat as you please
And curse me to hell
I sailed away with my skin
On the closest rail
My shirt dried my tears
On the hard ride home
I still can't figure
Where right went wrong
A testament of my grief
Now festers in a song
But hey
If it helps you
In the long run
Woman, if it eases your mind
To blame someone
I'll tell you right now
That a bayonet lasts longer than a gun
Your misguided frustration
Left me in a slump
I hope and prayed with good faith
That your morning would come
But I'll tell you right now
That a bayonet last longer than a gun
