A Faith Called Chaos The Pugilist Lyrics

The Pugilist Lyrics

I drink your arms like wine 

Not mine cause I’m not looking 

You judge life by pills on your bedside 

(If there is a way) 

I’m unsung, I’m undone 

Is this what you want? 

When evenings bridge and beat behind my eyes 

I can’t even see, 

I can’t escape, what you place only arms away 

The covers bruise and pull perfect nights out from my eyes 

Past your eyes I’m not for patterns 

I drank my self to this 

I drank myself through this 

These skies look so familiar 

These stars they bleed vermillion 

These scars look so familiar 

Kiss me with some teeth so I will know 

This is too much kitsch for me 

Living life in shades of fluorescent pink 

Your pills, your pens your bottles of ink 

Your azure was green by 6:30 

God bless the black and blue eyes, 

I gave to the prose of sleepless nights 

Love’s first waste is loves last kiss 

My addict. 

Ten years hence they will know me as

The one who came, and never found himself. 

We kept the charade going as long as we could (We favor the brave) 

I don’t want to look back in ten years and say we could have. 

We favor the brave.
