Paratrooper’s Battlecry

[Verse 1]

Feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work

So I bought a statue of Jesus

And listen to Abby's old high school demos

And smoked a bag of reefer

I got bills coming up, debts still due

And I've got too much on my mind

To stay in the moment

It's always blowing out the windows and into the night

[Chorus]

Stay behind me

My once sweet Lorraine

Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell

Build me a castle, Maria, I pray

Take these weeds outta my head

When I'm barely living and almost dead

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Almost dead

[Verse 2]

I'm sick of getting lifted

Sick of going under

Tired of giving too much

I've been down in a hole for so long

I don't know if any love could fill it back up

I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave

Can't live in them old mistakes

And I remember what TK said:

"You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"

[Chorus]

Stay behind me

My once sweet Lorraine

Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell

And build me a castle, Maria, I pray

Way up high and outta my head

When I'm barely living and almost dead

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Almost dead

[Chorus]

Stay behind me

My once sweet Lorraine

Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell

And build me a castle, Maria, I pray

Take these weeds outta my head

When I'm barely living and almost dead

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Almost dead
