Another one of my guitar writing endeavors (I not so secretly hope to put out and outlaw country/folk album at some point.)
This song is inspired by my love for Johnny Cash, The Mountain Goats and my partner at the time that I wrote it. Certainly unfinished, I'm waiting to finish it with the right collaborator. Recommendations welcome :).
I wasn't fine
Before you came
Right now I'm worse
But mostly I'm the same
I'm tangled up
I'm made of knots
But you give a damn
And that means an awful lot
We're gonna fall
Until our bodies hit the ground
I'll pick up every bloody tooth
And piece of you I found
I'll tell a joke
And make you laugh with your last breath
Cause I said till death
Your heart is dead
Your hands are cold
You made a list of everything I stole
I'm beaten down
I'm bleedin' years
But I like the way
You put me through the gears
If you wanna fight
We're gonna fight until you give
That's alright
This is how we learn to live
I'll tell a joke
And make you laugh with your last breath
Cause I said till death
Cause I said till death
