Lyrics
I couldn't stand on my own for the brittleness bred in my bones. She made it seem that I shone. I was so sure that in her I'd finally found the zone. My fox (comma) stone.
Finally, a cake all my own. Don't care that it's a bit cold, 'cause the candles go out when they're blown. But I wasted my wish when I shared it with you 'cause you told. I'd struck fake gold.
This was the one home I'd found: the city where I score my sound. Honey, you know how I love this town. But to keep it from killing us both, let it burn to the ground. Strike a match, man; I'm down.
Well, I figure my case is air tight, justified, my divine right. If I get my hands on her tonight. I might be man enough; I'd finally put out her lights. But I brought a knife to a gunfight. Brought a knife to a gunfight. Brought a knife to a gunfight.
On the nights when you quiet her cries she seems as fragile as glass. But she's got a heart full of lies. She'll leave your guts in the grass; sho'nuff hand you your ass.
Now the feeling that's become a fixture in my spine since I decided to thicken my mixture with Black Wine. That maybe there ain't no stars in my picture despite how you shine. I can feel that I've fallen behind, that the name on your 'tat won't be mine.
Baby, we're solid, I mean it: you've been a tight bro'. But nothing is certain, so how can you write what you know? It's like the past has its hands round your throat and it just won't let go. Let me guess... you were born with a glow, and then punished for letting it show.
Trying to decipher our illnesses hasn't been fun. We've both been fighting our fevers so long we don't know when we've won. But honey, nothing is certain, so how do I right what I've done? Well, I promise I'll bring a new sun--a fountain of light. I'm the one. And when that transformation is done, you will see ours is only begun...
