End of the Line

My mind is a man with a gun
He said to me: Got 10 seconds to run
Been running, my whole life
Now there’s nothing left but sky
Tell me a story, sing me a song
I’m afraid I don’t have long
I’m driving off the ledge of your eyes
And I’m out of time
If I call you some time
Will you be on the end of the line?
Will you be on the end of the line?

Never had no family
Fast ‘cause I had to be
Never perfectly
That’s you that’s not me
Right side then the left
Fingerprints are next
Throw the book at me
My, what will it be?
I remember when you had no rules
We would drink and dance
All night like fools
And I find it funny
You judge me
I find it funny
You judge me
I got a mind like a mustang thundering
Ain’t nothin’ or no one can contain me
Throw away the key
I’ve never known mercy
But I remember when you had no rules
We would drink and dance
All night like fools
I find it funny
You judge me
I find it funny
You judge me
Mister you don’t know me
Walk away and dismiss me
In my mind I do no time
In my mind I do no time
I’m free
I’m free
I’m free

Reach me at your leisure
Take me far from home
Miles beyond all measure
We are not alone
Speeding 99
Want you
Every time
Highway 99
I feel you
In the night
See, serpent in the switchgrass
Feel devils at the door
Ask and I won’t answer
I can’t hear you no more
Speeding 99
Want you
Every time
Highway 99
I feel you
In the night

I have a mother
Fathoms deep
Bluer than blue
She carried me
I have a mother
And a memory
The night she woke me
To weep
Holy Mary can you hear me?
Can you see me?
I’m on my knees
Mother Mary
I’ve paid the price
Can you get me
Through the night
It’s not for myself that I ask this of you
It’s not for myself that I ask this of you
I have a son
help me guide him though
It’s not for myself that I ask this of you
It’s not for myself that I ask this of you
I have a son
help me guide him though
Holy holy Mary
There’s a cold wind blowin’
And I’m trying
I don’t want to give in
Mother mother Mary
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
I’m on my knees
Forgive me
I’ve been in the dark
So long so long
Forgive me I’ve lived in the dark
So long so long
Holy holy Mary
Holy holy Mary
Send me a sign a sign a sign
Send me a sign a sign
Send me a sign
In the dark, in the dark I find
How sweet the light
In the dark, in the dark I find
How sweet the light

You

I've made my mistakes
I've come all this way
To be with you to be with you
So, I'm a fool
So are you
We do what we do
We do what we do
You know, if something's wrong
I can listen all night long
If you're broken in blue
I will come for you
I've seen your insides
I know your disguise
Well, you know mine
When the numbness creeps
You can send for me
Like smoke in a room
Like dark in the moon
When there's nothing to hold on to
I will come for you
Only if you want me to
To
To

The Dark
02:43

Take me down, to the studs
Take me down, just ‘cause
swing away, if it relieves you
You gotta do, what you gotta do
I won’t cry while you get it done
Did you think you’re the only one?
True I deserve it, like you say
Can’t feel a thing, anyway
And I go down down down
And I stay down down down
Been down so hard
I’m nothing but a spark
But the one thing I know
It’s the dark
Once I heard a man
He said it isn’t true
In the pitch of night
There’s a light no one sees
Someone was laughing
But the man he was looking
At me
Maybe it’s a lie
But I’m gonna try
To believe
Oh, I wish
A freight train would slam into your heart
Son of a bitch I wish
Ravens would eat you alive
But wishing, it’s a dead end street
And maybe I’m nothing
But I’ve got a running start
And I torched your car
I can disappear like an art
‘Cause the one thing I know
It’s the dark
Yeah the one thing I know
Is the dark
Is the dark is the dark is the dark
