[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
