lyrics

Fate speaks to you
in an all familiar tone
in a dialect that’s neither
proper or well known

The soft fibers of fear
touch against your fingertips
and you smile at all the reasons why

Lady luck winks at you
but you just look away
She’s foreign, untamed, exotic and unkind

There’s a hole that she’s been digging
and you caught a glimpse of it
It’s true you will be buried there someday

I know, I know there’s no sticking to the guns
you pawned a long time ago

Haunted by the song of hope
the dance of everlong
Our heroes and our villains walk a blurry line

There’s no anger now
But I see how
the dust from a hundred years
always settles on the brim of time

I know, I know there’s no sticking to the guns
you pawned a long time ago

Most of what I learned
wading in their sea of guilt
is to doubt that I could ever really swim
But the hardest part of all
is to deny their lifeline
When the current’s pulling you out with the tide

I know, I know there’s no sticking to the guns
you pawned a long time ago
I know there’s no sticking to the guns
that you pawned long ago
