sucker punch

Lyrics

going off the rails, got enough gas and time to waste, feel you in the highway braille, steering with my eyes shut, half-awake, no one has to know, maybe if you turned the car around, just try to get home, coming down the exits to your house, sleeping in my clothes, waking from a nightmare on your couch, thought i couldn't get much lower, nowhere else to go when you come down, too tired to fight anymore, started giving in, i throw a match, cleanup like an oil spill, i'm down at the gas station all night, trying to wash it off, bathin' in the pale blue neon light, handed you a knife with the handle out, i could see you throw a sucker punch, a broken floating rib, permanent scar, a temporary fix, say it's fine, i'm not convinced, tossing a cord and i'm, holding my breath, nobody's faultless, it's anybody's guess, bury me face-down, so i can keep climbing in, help me to get out, so that i can crawl back to it
