A shipwreck we were lost at sea We were drowning it was you and me It was a rogue wave that came crashing through and took away everything It was the nighttime when it all fell apart Yeah there were lies and this was only the start This love could kill us and it's getting some help from The deep blue sea Yeah there were lifeboats but no room for us So we burned that bridge yeah we spit in the dust No sign of rescue which is fine by me cause there's nothing to save With my last breath I wanna give you a kiss And tell you how much I hated this But it's too late cause you're already swimming to another guy Gasp for air Never look back Your lips are turning blue my vision's going black A watery grave how appropriate Cause it felt like we were drowning since we started this Like a captain going down with the ship I'll just stay here and let the water come in I'll let it take me and fill my lungs like you used to do They say the ocean has no memory So that's the perfect place for you and me I can forget you until I see your name tattooed on my arm So now I'll wait here in the deepest abyss In this darkness with your name on my lips Between heaven and hell I dwell until you ship passes by Then I'll reach out with the strength of the sea Toss you over sink down to me You can stay her for eternity While the waves crash by

Well it's a damn fine line between darkness and the light It's a damn fine line between wrong and what is right It's a damn fine place for the two of us to meet In that twilight realm where shadows tend to creep Oh my dear brother let's walk the tracks Oh my dear brother let's walk the tracks The world we left behind it ain't going nowhere It'll be waiting for us when we come back Oh my dear brother let's walk the tracks Sometimes it's work just to keep those voices at bay Sometimes you turn up the music scream it out just fucking play Sometimes that doubt sets in and you can't stand another word Yeah there are fences but I got songs that you ain't heard Nobody means it when they say I'll see you soon So let's finish this bottle and you can play me one more tune One last dance on that line between wrong and right And I'll walk with you brother through the darkest of nights

I lived by myself for most of my life But times are tough and the rent is tight I gotta new guy and he just moved in He's gotta pointy beard and a pointy grin Well he parties all night and he sleeps all day And tells me that his work is play He never says no to drugs or drink He says boy lemme tell you what I think He says hell yeah Just add alcohol and watch it burn Well I never see him eat and he keeps his door shut But I hear him fucking and he fucks a lot A different girl every night and it's always the same They always leave his room in shame I tried a couple times to keep up with him He drank a bottle of whiskey I drank a bottle of gin And when I passed out he poured himself another drink He said boy lemme tell you what I think Now there's nothing left that I can do He's got his hooks inside of me I pray to god I can survive this and he says Don't pray to god pray to me He says don't pray to god pray to me

Come on baby let's get nuts The summer's almost over we can do anything we want Come on baby let's get nuts We'll pull those bottles down from walls and do whatever we want Well our secret's safe with no one so we hide it from ourselves And we sneak around like kids cause it's the only way we know how And when September's come and gone and I'll write you every day And then I'll burn up every letter and forget what I had to say There's a danger there inside your stare and we're both consenting adults I swear Yeah right yeah right There's tan lines where your ring should be and your husband should be here not me But I don't know him and you're so beautiful so fucking beautiful One more night One more dance One more black lie
