Life - The Almost

I always thought I could get what I wanted

If I just pushed enough

Act as sad as I wanted and something free happens

From the outside in, it’s a goldmine

It all turns to rot when you get inside

Chain up all the hope

'Cause shit is what it’s worth

You can’t change my mind about nothing

You can’t see in my soul;

it’s too dark

I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t lead a horse to water

And force it to drink in deeper

You can’t charge for grace and mercy

It costs what it costs and that’s a life of hell

Go on down to the water

And throw a line or two in

See if you can pull something out that’ll stick to your skin

Go on and just be grateful

Try and understand

There’s no facts, just second guessing

And earning your keep as a better man

You can’t change my mind about nothing

You can’t see in my soul;

it’s too dark

I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t lead a horse to water

And force it to drink in deeper

You can’t charge for grace and mercy

It costs what it costs and that’s a life of hell

There’s blood in the water

There’s death on my hands

Come and knock on my door

I’ll label your demands

There’s faith in a black heart

You can put it back together

Get all your shit straight

I’ll meet you in the desert

You can’t change my mind about nothing

You can’t see in my soul;

it’s too dark

I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t change my mind about nothing

You can’t see in my soul;

it’s too dark

I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t lead a horse to water

And force it to drink in deeper

You can’t charge for grace and mercy

It costs what it costs and that’s a life of hell
