[00:15.58] Needles underfoot as he stumbles out to the dock
[00:18.15] Big toe feeling it through the hole in his sock
[00:20.74] Car keys dangling absently from the lock
[00:22.28] Of the Buick Regal parked to the side of the road block
[00:25.82] Celly on the center console continued buzzing
[00:28.36] Name on the screen Katrina parenthesis baby cousin
[00:30.28] Dissolve Me on the speakers is playing into the nothing
[00:32.70] He fixes his hair for no one his steady pace never rushing
[00:36.14] Faded blue polo shirt missing a top button
[00:38.67] Khakis with a coffee stain ripping near where he cuff 'em
[00:40.22] Tongue on the roof of his cotton mouth is feeling rough
[00:43.67] Got a pocket full of stones and a cup full of Robitussin
[00:46.43] Too many stars to count and the moon is high up and blushing
[00:48.91] Water is the calmest the breeze in the pine is rustling
[00:51.65] And the piston in his temple relentless in how it's crushing
[00:53.87] Everything but the sound of her crying screaming and cussing
[00:57.76] The purple 'round her eye was deepening as he pleaded
[01:00.22] And backed away from the door
[01:01.68] Sleeplessly embracing
[01:04.62] Rage in a bottle want to throw it out to sea
[01:06.91] Sleeplessly embracing
[01:09.45] Never seen the ocean so this lake will have to do
[01:11.99] Sleeplessly embracing
[01:14.59] Pumping his brakes to the sound of the beat
[01:17.07] Sleeplessly embracing
[01:19.65] Leave the tarnished ring with a note inside of a shoe
[01:23.43] It's all ****ed up now
[01:24.35] Sh*t sh*t Katrina pushes send again
[01:27.75] Same thing ring and right into the voice messaging
[01:29.17] Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
[01:30.98] Left blinker clicks fast from the burnt out taillight
[01:33.51] Open toe on the gas
[01:35.32] Heater on her face to compensate for the chill
[01:37.55] Plastic on the passenger window thunders at will
[01:40.30] New tattoo on the neck is itching but Dang that's ill
[01:42.78] Is what Snake had said to her while she re-ing up on her pills
[01:45.42] Pop a couple now while she driving around the woods
[01:47.74] Knew from the beginning that marriage would be no good
[01:50.39] Told him not to fall for the first available hottie
[01:52.56] But she knew he would she knew him better than anybody
[01:55.60] He'd always take the first well technically the second
[01:57.99] If you count the time he slipped into her room when she was seven
[02:00.47] And he told her that he loved her and everything was okay
[02:02.02] That was just a week before they took her mother away
[02:06.22] She knows that he's poison but he was the only one
[02:08.59] Who stayed when she needed it most
[02:10.82] Sleeplessly embracing
[02:13.64] Dress up like a princess and come out to the party
[02:16.22] Sleeplessly embracing
[02:18.62] Tired of the burning so this numb will have to do
[02:21.15] Sleeplessly embracing
[02:23.54] A little bit of dirt never hurt nobody
[02:26.18] Sleeplessly embracing
[02:28.76] Always protect the thing that you know is true
[02:54.17] It's all ****ed up now
[02:55.74] Shoes taken off and placed upon the bank
[02:58.24] Crickets in the distance are dissonant and he brakes
[03:00.62] He stop for just a minute reflecting on all the days
[03:03.21] The joy before he slipped back into his sinister ways
[03:05.64] How well could he justify every choice that he made
[03:08.33] How little control a little girl could ever take
[03:10.88] How little he cared in the moment if she would wake
[03:13.32] Hopefully she was so little she'd not remember the ache
[03:16.04] His toe is in the water it's ice it's codeine
[03:18.60] It's dimming all the stars and it's muffling all the screams
[03:21.29] It's now up to his waist and he wading into the dream
[03:23.98] His pulse is racing causing the surface tension to steam
[03:26.60] The water at his chest his lungs fight and collapse
[03:29.05] The frogs see it best he thinks he starts to laugh
[03:31.49] The water at his eyelids now and he's 'bout to pass out
[03:34.14] She could be rid of him now at last
[03:38.15] The note he left read please never tell her love James
[03:42.00] Sleeplessly embracing
[03:44.63] The ripples disappear and there's nothing left to show
[03:47.23] Sleeplessly embracing
[03:49.72] Never been concluded so the end will have to do
[03:52.25] Sleeplessly embracing
[03:54.80] High not low and away we go
[03:57.28] Sleeplessly embracing
[03:59.77] Tomorrow it'll all be a perfect shade of blue
[04:02.46] Sleeplessly embracing It's all ****ed up now
[04:07.64] Sleeplessly embracing It's all ****ed up now
[04:12.97] Sleeplessly embracing It's all ****ed up now
[04:17.90] Sleeplessly embracing It's all ****ed up now
