Cheaper than the heart attack
That seems to come without a future.
I've been paid for a life of crime
With a plate of poison arrows.
Understand I'm drowning here.
Understand it's only me tonight.
Standing tall on crooked spines.
Breathing in that rolling thunder.
I can quit this any time,
But it's one hell of a habit.
Understand I'm dying here.
Understand it's only me tonight.
(If) you can stand my will to live,
I can stand on burning embers of a very flawed design.
How we loved to watch it burn here.
Understand I'm burning here.
Understand it's you and me tonight.
