lyrics

It was no skin off your back.
I got out by the skin of my teeth.
Now I'm the only one standing in my way.
All my sequels are reboots;
Lessons learnt, perpetrators cut.
You must have slipped through the gallows, my dear.
Remember I'm my own gallows, dear.

I've got no shame in who I became
but if these God damn ghosts can stop haunting me I won't complain.

This town was big enough for the both of us
until you looked my way.
This bar was long enough for my tastes
until the room began to shrink.

I bled my radiation poisoning
into every hostage I could get my hooks in.
Analogies are so much better four years later.
Analogies are so much better four years later.
Shut up. Quiet. Let me think.

It was no skin off your back.
I got out by the skin of my teeth.
This means nothing until the day it doesn't matter.

This town was big enough for the both of us
until you looked my way.
This bar was long enough for my tastes
until the room began to shrink.
My home away from hell is helping me get the best of myself
and my heart away from hope is getting the rest of myself.

I predict the weather man will sing a little off-key.
The tongue removed may sting or soothe so please, take a seat.
Votes are in and oh boy, it's a startling majority
of men who wake at night when the floorboards creak.

I will be a guilt-trip waiting in the wings.
You can still be the reason I scream.
That suits us.
That suits us fine.
Just whilst we're here,
that suits us fine.
