Flogging Molly - Punch Drunk Grinning Soul lyrics

It took me everything I had to
Give all that I could
Walk beside me while I sleep
Steer me from the slumber wolf
Tangled forest of the mind speaks
To me of self-despise
Close the window through the pane
Hear the sirens' serenade

Could have been the comeback kid
The southpaw's legend glove to fill
No shadow boxer but the one
A true contender for the crown
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In it's corner begs no more

Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud but we hardly knew you
The chamber echo never speaks
The rushing tide devours my feet
No global warming fills this soul
For hell it freezes what it stole
From the beggar's empty plate
To our world that stuffs it's face

Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud but we hardly knew you

But these tired eyes are crashing down on me
While the paint never dries on these
Four walls that now suffocate me
But tonight, maybe tonight all will be free

Release, unlock this prison door
It can't hold me anymore
Serpent lied with sting of tail
Hand of reason rusts the nail
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In it's corner begs no more

Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud but we hardly knew you

We hardly knew you we hardly knew you
We hardly knew you
