A Well Deserved Rest

from Complicated Drinking Games EP by Boomstick

lyrics

I’ve been acting pretty mean
I don’t want to seem like the bastard I might be
So I won’t reciprocate
Everything you’ve said of late about that very thing
Some say that being the bigger person will keep you walking tall
But after all I’d rather receive such a burden and later shrug it off so

Take me down to that river
And keep my body clean
Keep my body clean
Keep my body clean

I’ve been wearing this fatigue
Right out on my sleeve
Where my heart used to be
With cold eyes searching at old lines
Scratched out in the sand
Somewhere I longer see
Some say that being the bigger person will keep you walking tall
But after all I’d rather receive such a burden and later shrug it off so

Keep your backyard posted keep your shotgun loaded
Keep your eyes straight ahead
Something’s got to turn out right
There’s a Bible on the table between the stereo cables and ghosts
You don’t know the pain you cause
At the bottom of the bottle there’s a fox with a starving mind and
Your hens are safe your hens are safe
Your hens are already dead
