my history will be the death of me

Lyrics

i got the heart of the night on my sleeve, and i see in the dark when i can't speak and i can't breathe, i got the marks of a man under siege, and i follow my gut like a cut when i can't see and i'm still here, it's still me, i got the fight of the lion in me, and i clench my teeth when i can't speak and i can't breathe, because there's no words for this inability to see the, decency in these people around me, because i'm a bullfighter at the rodeo, i hear the young hearts breaking on the radio, and you got me good, it's not my neighbourhood, and i'm a long, long way away from home, baby, i'm gone, gone, spinning on out of this world, gotta simmer down, down, baby down the rabbit hole, i got your number, honey bunny, and i'm ready to roll, i got your number, honey bunny, and i'm ready to roll, see, i get stuck from time to time, it seems, and when i'm down in that rut, well there's no truth or clarity, and all i see is my inhumanity, but i still follow my dreams like a goddamn worker bee, my history will be the death of me, still got a light, that kid keeps burning in me, and i try to fight but i'm overwhelmed by empathy, i got it bad, this ambivalence you see, and the devil in me keeps on hollering up, because i'm a boneshaking daddy-o, i left my heartstrings broken on the patio, that shit is cold, i left my soul by the side of the road, road blazing now i'm driving too slow, i'm on the run, run, sugarbun, dumber than some, gotta cool it down, down, baby 'cause it burns like the sun, i got your picture in my wallet and that shit weighs a ton, i got your picture in my wallet and that shit weighs a ton, baby, i'm gone, gone, spinning on out of this world, gotta simmer down, down, baby, down the rabbit hole, what's with the death wish? let it slip, look at it snow, i got my mind on my honey and my honey is on my mind, i got my mind on my honey and my honey on my mind, on my mind, on my mind, i don't mind, i don't mind, i don't mind
