Single Mothers - Marathon lyrics
[Single Mothers - Marathon lyrics]
Messy and stupid and dull and out of control
The intellectual grape vine gets
Pulled and then told
Paperback riddled, right pages dog-eared
My heart is full
My eyes are red but still clear oh Lord
Come down here and give me a pat on the back
Yeah, I'm strong enough without any
More of your God-given strength
Point me in the direction of
Those golden pearl gates
I've got rocks in my chest
And garbage for brains
I'm standing my ground and
I won't be persuaded
I've decided myself that I could
Use a change and i'd be silly to think that
I've been well behaved
But the messes I've made
Became your favorite stains
Welcome me into your arms
I've sacrificed in all of your honor
With a toothless grin and some charm
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
The writer's world fame is, well
Much lesser known
But his antics will dictate how
Those readings will go
And the best seller shelf
It was never the goal
The bills need to be paid and
The words need to be sold
Welcome me into your arms
I've sacrificed all this in your honor
With a toothless grin and some charm
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
We can find something better and darker
Let me lead you away
What was dedicated to the soul
Now belongs to the sell
We set the sails and then
Let the ship drive it'self
And when it finally sinks, yeah
We won't blame ourselves
But take the names of the ones
That actually dove into help
Wishful thinking then retreating
Following blindly into the fog
The nature of wrong trailing like shit
Right behind you until you're gone
The intellectual grape vine gets
Pulled and then told
Paperback riddled, right pages dog-eared
My heart is full
My eyes are red but still clear oh Lord
Come down here and give me a pat on the back
Yeah, I'm strong enough without any
More of your God-given strength
Point me in the direction of
Those golden pearl gates
I've got rocks in my chest
And garbage for brains
I'm standing my ground and
I won't be persuaded
I've decided myself that I could
Use a change and i'd be silly to think that
I've been well behaved
But the messes I've made
Became your favorite stains
Welcome me into your arms
I've sacrificed in all of your honor
With a toothless grin and some charm
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
The writer's world fame is, well
Much lesser known
But his antics will dictate how
Those readings will go
And the best seller shelf
It was never the goal
The bills need to be paid and
The words need to be sold
Welcome me into your arms
I've sacrificed all this in your honor
With a toothless grin and some charm
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
Let me lead you away from that slaughter
We can find something better and darker
Let me lead you away
What was dedicated to the soul
Now belongs to the sell
We set the sails and then
Let the ship drive it'self
And when it finally sinks, yeah
We won't blame ourselves
But take the names of the ones
That actually dove into help
Wishful thinking then retreating
Following blindly into the fog
The nature of wrong trailing like shit
Right behind you until you're gone
