lyrics

ten years gone and a few songs
i'm drifting in this place
conclusions drawn in blood
they're the hardest to erase

yeah and you could call it fate
and say it could be worse
but sometimes you've got to wonder
if the whole thing was a curse

and it's gnawing at you
till the hours they get late
and it's there by your side
when you awake

they used to think bloodletting
could make you well again
so i bled some soft
and some i bled on ten

till i couldn't separate
my bleeding from my health
yeah but most of all as i recall
i was just trying to save myself

what is the illusion
and what can you lean on
there's this sword called coming-up-empty
that i have fallen upon

she's this job description
and no one will walk you through it
yeah failure's such a dirty job
i don't know if i'm up to it

good night america
wherever we have been
and good night to my family
good night to my friends

i'm changing my address
until we meet again
i'll be checking into a world
they call oblivion

and the suit
swallows you full
but it's the only one they had
for me in the window
