Jackie Boy 2.0

Oh if these walls could talk, I would talk right back I would talk, I would talk 'til they fade to black The Jack Daniels don't soothe me no more Oh Jackie Boy, Jackie Boy, show me the door Show me peace, show me grief, show me what it means To live a life so sunk it's not worthy to breathe It's too early to see, it's too late to retreat So the ship sails on to its perfect defeat And I try to stay aboard, but when it rains, it pours I drink a bottle of the captains 'til I wash up on shore Don't tell me how to live this life, I live this hell I doubt the devil had an army until the angels fell Now wake up I'll seek you out Flay you alive One more word and you won't survive And I'm not scared of your stolen power I see right through you any hour I'll seek you out Flay you alive One more word and you won't survive And I'm not scared of your stolen power I see right through you any hour In such a place you either breathe or you suffocate It's such a waste, don't you see what you've done to me, got Holes in my heart like the holes in my liver It seems the less she take is the more I give her So, never the winner, forever the stranger You hate me for what I was, forget the good I do A strange place where I keep my feelings Call it Fort Knox with a see through ceiling Cause where I stand I don't see the path, I see the past I see the problems that await but, I don't seem to act So nothing's learned, no triumphant return I never put out the fire, I just watch it all burn, thinking... It's time to say goodbye There ain't no more hellos I set it all on fire That's how the story goes Turn the page, let it fade, watch it decay See the flame, let it rain, watch it be tamed I see the bandage, I know that you know you damaged I pray that you feel what I feel And only hope that you panic The message is in the bottle The current will help deliver There is no return to sender Like everything that I give her I can fill the flask up, but can't get past us I'm in the storm, stayin' strong, but can't get back up A sudden change, the wind, will spin his game we're in But when there's nothing to hold, you'd rather sink then swim Sing it Eyes on fire Your spine is ablaze Felling any foe with my gaze And just in time in the right place Steadily emerging with grace
