Rocking Chair

[Verse 1]

I was sittin in the rocking chair by the side of the house

Where streetlight stars and all the highway cars

Claps and it drips on your window

I'll get something to eat, but all these spaces I meet

Seem so hypnotizing

These eyes are exits to be

[Chorus]

And things ain't what they used to be

Got this flickering heart set out after me

If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before

If I drink some more well I think I might drown

Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out

I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down

Whoa!

[Verse 2]

And the days didn't come around, shivered at the sight

Finally looking out these hoping eyes , all strings pulled put me aside

I'll slowly die for my sins swallow my sins whole

Cause eyes they were bigger than they ever were ohhhhh

[Chorus]

And things ain't what they used to be

Got this flickering heart set out after me

If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before

If I drink some more well I think I might drown

Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out

I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down

Whoa!

Whoaaaaaa!
