Now and Never More

歌詞

I guess we're maybe just the lucky ones The devil chose us and she left us some I guess it's better that we're left alone Now and never more You can bet you can count on them right Had to leave you in the middle of the night I guess it's better that we're left this way Now and never more Now and never more It's just seven steps to open every lock on my door The thick oak boards would never surrender to anything Short of forty-fours blastin' at the hinges Mistakes never take more than six steps without the world endin' So I can rest assured the locks'll never give, the chains'll never flinch And no man but God can raise the bolts from the dead And just for pinch, I leave a chair propped under the knob Never too certain in this world gone lost That's why I keep every window locked, latched under key The only thing I trust is the floor steadfast under me I know you're wondering what would drive a man to live like this And what would happen if you accidentally slipped and hit your head Lying passed out on the bathroom floor Brain leakin', body weaken as the audience stands for the curtain call And there is me, life flash before my eyes lookin' back And laugh at times when I cut the telephone lines And severed all ties, shut off the water and power Sealed off from the steel hearts atop my ivory tower I look down every now and then and hope she'll answer my call But I know she's gone so what's the point of ever leaving at all Ever leaving at all Lock the door on your way out I'm leaving it all Behind Goodbye I guess we're maybe just the lucky ones The devil chose us and she left us some I guess it's better that we're left alone Now and never more You can bet you can count on them right Had to leave you in the middle of the night I guess it's better that we're left this way Now and never more Now and never more Awake with a bottle on the night-stand Staring at me as it sparks reactions in my right hand Grab hold as I continue this production Of draining these fixations after drowning in dysfunction The light from the atmosphere induces sensitivity And burns my retinas in a fashion that convinces me That this must be my punishment for those mistakes That kept piling up until it crumbled on the sixth day Now I stand in a carnival of nervous fans Waiting for the moment to escape inside the caravan Slam the door and tell the driver to accelerate Toss my heavy baggage out and watch it all disintegrate Sitting on a cushion still warm and broken in From the last passenger that's still running from unspoken sins Pull over, let me walk before the [rust?] grabs me I will avoid all of the signs that say 'No Trespassing' Step foot onto a trail of forgotten soles Failing to admire cautions deeming me responsible Head first without the proper education Tampers with my pulse and my uneasy ventilation Exhale watch the air escape my lips Racing towards the surface as the current and the water shifts There's no need to attempt to see her face If I break the plan today I won't live past Thursday So now I chose to become one with this tide If it lands me on the shore where my integrity resides Eyes closed it will work itself out Alone and short-winded it will work itself out I guess we're maybe just the lucky ones The devil chose us and she left us some I guess it's better that we're left alone Now and never more You can bet you can count on them right Had to leave you in the middle of the night I guess it's better that we're left this way Now and never more Now and never more
