3rd Shift

歌詞

His mother said stay away Away from all the darkness, it'll haunt you And everything we've ever prayed Is the only thing that will ever save you But it all started with that little taste It helped keep him up later at night, helped the truth come back into sight And when she left him it dulled the pain He'd hide the marks under his socks, the doctor said he was in shock from what he'd seen His mama said it's the last time It's the last time we'll be here to save you Because you've fucked this up again And those kids aren't your friends, they use you up And now he's standing in the rain He should have probably hopped the train instead of drove The sergeant's seen this thing before Maybe some time behind locked doors will save this kid No, but it don't save him, and who's to blame? The truth just keeps him up at night, there was never much inside he liked The guilty phantoms make him insane He could clean up but why start now, after all, who knows how to start again? If they don't save him, who's to blame? If he don't save him, who's to blame? If we don't save him, who's to blame? His mother said stay away Away from all the darkness, it'll haunt you And everything we've ever prayed Is the only thing that will ever save you But it all started with that little taste It helped keep him up later at night, helped the truth come back into sight And when she left him it dulled the pain He'd hide the marks under his socks, the doctor said he was in shock If we don't save him, who's to blame? The truth just keeps us up at night, why can't he see what's there to like? Do guilty phantoms make us insane? If we clean it up there's no way out, time will tell if he makes it out of this alive
