lyrics

Give me a dollar, give me your hand.
Give me some water, give me some bread.
A woman like me could use a friend;
a blood brother, bound and branded.

Her kiss still burns on my forehead, like a shot in between the eyes.
I think she left me here for dead, hoping I’d rise.

Call it a sickness, call it a curse.
I call it a blessing and I think it’s getting worse.
‘Cause the deeper I go, the darker it gets.
But I just keep on heading towards the outer limits.

Her kiss still burns on my forehead, like a shot in between the eyes.
I think she left me here for dead, hoping I’d rise.


Father said to plan for the worst and hope for the best.
To never take chances and only dream when I rest.
But ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
All of his silver and gold crumbles to rust.

I could have it all but I don’t want to pay.
I know I can’t afford the prices, anyway.
I’ve seen it before – the slow compromise.
So I choose the muse again with everything that she implies.


Her kiss still burns on my forehead, like a shot in between the eyes.
I think she left me here for dead, hoping I’d rise.
