somehow i knew you'd shut the door
someone like me a singing whore
my sanity just don't afford
hell's fire heavan's snore(sword/scorn)
this whiskey drags me to the floor
you know i liked to be ignored
you swore that you would cry and weep no more
sounds like you've gone away to war
WAR WAR WAR WAR!
six seven eight nine
now nine's deceased
with death in sight death's all you see
the whole damn thing was just a dream
you paid straight cash for the disease
there aint no peace
sometimes there's sleep
accept your likeness to thief
you could breathe more steadily
instead of gone away to war
his house still stands you're pretty sure
and If you die you'll find the cure
but if you're lookin' to be pure
you've gone away to war
get upkept with your upkeep
