It's impossible to set a metronome to this track and the trumpet was recorded in a bathroom.
lyrics
I know that I'll rue the day
that I held you; asked you to stay
but I can't see clear to face what I fear.
The shadow that looms over this-
that thing that latches onto bliss and
eats up hope and renders highs to lows.
Chorus:
Steady! I'll keep making my way back, stronger- through thickets and briar; no longer... the fools and that liar won't win.
Steady! Just keep holding my hand and believe that we'll stay right where we stand and we won't be doomed to the fires for sin.
Now, I can speak for those who've been betrayed;
laid there heads where lovers have laid... and I can't go back to that life of less and 'lack'.
Bitten once, 3 times as shy as any girl with any guy
but you anchored so quick... second to none and twice as ____
Chorus
