this is a bailout, baby

like anyone could save me now

drag my body out to shore

we must look pretty tired

a motive with a smile and

the chalk outline on the floor


but i want more,

and i'm not ready for this war


does it keep you from sleep

like it's doing to me?

it's getting harder to keep.

does it weigh on your mind

and make you weak at the knees?


so if i'm all alone, then

this must be my atonement

i wear the cross that i have made

you slipped a fast one by me

i guess that i can finally say

that the favor's been repaid


and i will pray

that something beautiful will stay


but the truth is:

i'm no saint, and you're no savior.

so what's the use in this sort of behavior?
