Daily lyrics

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

play my lucky numbers / for most of what they're worth

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

if there's one thing that I'm not going to do tonight, it's die for you

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

I got lost out there in new mexico. nothing to lose, nowhere to go. I got lost, when my lucky stars crossed

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

there's a pop in the speakers where I hear your voice come through, so brave and true: When did I lose sight of you?

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

from my mother's best intentions to my stepdad's seething eyes.

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

you and your brother, you both escaped the curse. you can't comprehend what it's like

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

and then the blood that's been spilling from his eyes soaks through the bandages that are wrapped around his face

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

and I'm an eighteen-wheeler headed down the interstate, and my breaks are going to give, and I won't know 'til it's too late. Tires screaming when I lose control. Try not to hurt too many people when I roll.

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

no brothers left, and there'll be no more after me

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

break the lock on my own garden gate when I get home after dark. Sit looking up at the stars outside, like teeth in the mouth of a shark

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

but I know you're thinking of me, because it's just about to rain

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

hold them close, hold them near. Tell them no ones ever going to hurt them here

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

And I won't get better, but someday I'll be free, I am not this body that imprisons me.

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

my house will be for all people who have nowhere to go. My supply of shining crystals a shield against the snow.

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

look for the bigger picture when I close my eyes at night

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

rub the smooth spots on some rough rocks, I feel cold and sick

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

and I am coming home to you, with my own blood in my mouth. I am coming home to you, if It's the last thing that I do
