[ Featuring Charles Hultquist ]
Somebody somewhere told me that I should have never done what I did
But I didn't listen, I's on a mission, I's just a scared little kid
The heart doesn't break no it's different than that
It cracks up slow over time
How do I know?
Can't you see the glow
Leaking out of the cracks there
In mine?
But I'll soldier on
No rest shall I have
Til the demons inside me subside
On a highway of bones
Laid out tooth to toe
My memory is buried alive
I paid the bounty
Two grand to the Mountie
Who let me pass by under wraps
I told him if I was alive this time next year
I'd surely be back
Next year I'll surely be back
There's as much weather stuck to the leather of the soul
As out on the plains
Canadian chains
They slip off the reigns
And pile up beneath your shoestrings
Somebody somewhere told me that I should have never done what I did
But I didn't listen, I's on a mission, I's just a scared little kid
The heart doesn't break no it's different than that
It cracks up slow over time
How do I know?
Can't you see the glow
Leaking out of the cracks there
In mine?
