lyrics

Back in the burnt grass, want to make the scene last,
so a few can disappear
I got too far inside my head, found I was the only one there
Honey aint it tough to dish out any love
when you’re busted up deep inside
So outside Texarkana I switched out my banner
for one that said ‘Do or Die’

By which one did you begin
Which voice do you recognize
Smoke by day, and fire by night
Keep running till caught alive

Often it’s a sad line, it can set the day right, make you up a somber home
The reasons to hurt are a million and one,
and you sure can’t leave them alone
I was crawling around, under the ground,
afraid I would leave the dark ignored
But outside Texarkana I came to understand that
the light can weigh so much more
