Ends Terribly

I’ve got a shoulder, a holster

An arrow a cherub could shoot in your heart

Now that I’m older and bolder all I’ve got left are scars

I was blue searching for clues in these shooting stars

Now I’m seeing red; I’m raging at my seams, a start

To the end, if I could learn to bend; go back to the start

What would I change but the way I tend to fall apart

Maybe I should forgive all my enemies

Cash in my chips let the wind set me free

Bash my head against the wall til my heart learns how to bleed

Guess I’ve always been a stone, let me roll, let me roll

I know it ends terribly

It takes a different me to get through tomorrows pain

Today’s celebration another's wine stain

I’ll take the flames I’m built for it I’ll take the blame

Don’t miss me spread my ashes where my head would lay

That mythical place we all chase like rope, last thread dangling

That leads us home

I never escape just relocate, persistent stones feel my pain

Maybe I should forgive all my enemies

Cash in my chips let the wind set me free

Bash my head against the wall til my heart learns how to bleed

Guess I’ve always been a stone, let me roll, let me roll

I know it ends terribly

Push me to the edge still feeling pretty blessed

Cause all my friends might as well be next of kin

And all my kin will kill and die or ride when it hits the fan

Saddest truth I know is death will make you more the man

Than I could ever be

Maybe I should forgive all my enemies

Cash in my chips let the wind set me free

Bash my head against the wall til my heart learns how to bleed

Guess I’ve always been a stone, let me roll, let me roll

I know it ends terribly
