lyrics

for them

tell them to stay outside
she's praying, please don't die
so i held you again to let you know
said you'd find my eyes in the kids we sow
standing all alone

keep quiet and make it loud
with silence to shut my mouth
and it kills me to say i'm the only one
cause nobody wants to sing alone

down down down down down
in the deep stuff
down down down down down
was it all so tough

someday i'll be home soon
by the grace of god beneath you
some habits i just can't quit
like making promises to live

with so many ways to take a life
the things that you say they do it fine
with somebody else that made you a queen
was the diamond he got you too heavy to swing?
but family

down down down down down
felt like two tons
down down down down down
spilling all my guts

the xanax makes you happy
(but your mind is somewhere lonely)
you'd apologize but you're choking on pills
(leave agony here)
the medicine men well, they fix ya up real good
(the living dead the only)
gave you medicine head now ya act like you should
(all shaking and hooked)

down down down down down
she was too young
down down down down down
and the medicine won
down down down down down
it was all in love
