lyrics

Gleam
Why do you leave me here
under these neon lights
Trying to make it through
this devilish thing they call life
If whiskey really helped
would I drink the shit every damn day
the whipping winds they scream your voice
its hard for me to concentrate

And I walk
Thousands of miles out of town
And you voice it still lingers
at the end I hope I find it underground

Oh Darlin Im so sorry
you say this to me all the time
well one time Is enough
after ten it starts to become alive
sympathy for you
is like having happiness for bombs
your words are like a mine field
that I can never seem to dodge

And I know
you're not as strong as you may seem
quit acting like a martyr
its the devil that show inside your gleam

And now you make it seem
like the glory should be place on you
but a glorified liar is still a liar
no matter what it is you do
and you will think of me
whenever you lose control
of the one who tried to help
Now you're buried in a deeper hole

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
