Fighting a Losing Battle

Years go by like a silver bullet
Six feet deep and I’m left for dead
I never wanted to be a burden
To anybody that cared
I can’t think about that now
I’ve got to live for me and mine
But the more I wait I can’t help but feeling
Positively negative, I’m always so damn negative
I’m twenty nine and I can feel the decline
From my youthful days to my haunted nights
I don’t think I’ll ever have the time
To slow on down
I wasn’t always wandering around
Not distinguishing right from wrong
I knew the cost of my silver bullet
Now it’s time to pay up, I guess it’s time to pay up
I’m twenty nine and I can feel the decline
From my youthful days to my haunted nights
I don’t think I’ll ever have the time
To slow on down
I’m not falling down
Till that last bottle hits the ground
I’m not falling down
Till that last bottle hits the ground
Hits the ground
I’m twenty nine and I can feel the decline
From my youthful days to my haunted nights
I don’t think I’ll ever have the time
To slow on down, I can’t slow down

The lies that I was fed
Rattle round in my head
It’s hard to sift through the bullshit
It took a while to get out
But I could tell that it was going south
I never meant for it to end up like this
It’s Friday night
So let’s raise hell
And we can get saved on Sunday morning
Who’s to say what’s right
Sin’s just a made up word
To keep us in line
I tried to swim but drowned
Poured myself out and filled up again
I paid the bill but it only left me spent
The mistakes that I have made
I’ve got no one but myself to blame
Whatever hell I’ve found I will be god damned to burn in it
It’s Friday night
So let’s raise hell
And we can get saved on Sunday morning
Who’s to say what’s right
Sin’s just a made up word
To keep us in line
After all is said and done
I can’t be the only one
After all that’s said and done
I can’t be the only one
I can’t be the only one
I can’t be the only one
It’s Friday night
So let’s raise hell
And we can get saved on Sunday morning
Who’s to say what’s right
Sin’s just a made up word
To keep us in line

And I, I’m just doing what I think is right
So I can sleep at night
Cause I’m more of a ghost than a person now
I’ll stick to what I know and roam from town to town
Waking up not knowing if today will be my last
And you, you wanted us to run away
And I’d say that’s my biggest mistake
Cause I’m more of a ghost than a person now
I’ll stick to what I know and roam from town to town
Waking up not knowing if today will be my last
And we never got to say goodbye
But it’s, it’s ok, I’ve let you down for the last time
Cause you deserve better than I could ever give
I’m hoping someday you will forgive
And think of me fondly from time to time
Cause I’m more of a ghost than a person now
I’ll stick to what I know and roam from town to town
Waking up not knowing if today will be my last

I’ve been alone in these woods
For far too long
I see the fear in every person
I let close enough to see
Everyone comes and goes
But I remain here still
I’m the last of my kind
It seems I’m out of time
Broken arrows and wanted outlaws
Come roaming through these hills
Feared by all of humankind
I’ve got nothing to leave behind
Everyone comes and goes
But I remain here still
I’m the last of my kind
And it seems I’m out of time
They came with guns to my home
I didn’t see them coming at all
I heard the shot, I fell to the ground
I can feel my heart slowing down
Everyone comes and goes
But I remain here still
I’m the last of my kind
And it seems I’m out of time
I can feel my heart slowing down
I can feel my heart slowing down
I can feel my heart slowing down
I can feel my heart slowing

I don’t think I’m the only one
That feels this way, way about them
This lack of trust is killing me
Nobody believes of horrors told which they can’t see
Yeah they’re coming
Yeah they’re coming for us
Yeah they’re coming
Yeah they’re coming for us
I guess I will be just fine
I drink up the loneliness with whiskey and wine
Yeah they’re coming
Yeah they’re coming for us
Yeah they’re coming
Yeah they’re coming for us
Yeah they’re coming
Yeah they’re coming for us
Good lord they’re coming
Yeah they’re coming for us
Courage won’t, it won’t come cheap
To block out all, all of these memories
Of the abduction and the war
Of all the torment that I bore
No one believes me anyway
They should’ve ended it when they took me away

The man don’t give a damn about me
Left here to die alone
Trying hard to stay out of fights
I’ve been here since 2005
I ain’t saying I shouldn’t do my time
But I think I deserve a few more human rights
And I can’t change what’s wrong or right
I try hard every day to wipe the black spot from my name
The man don’t give a damn about me
Maybe I deserve the hate
I can’t take back what I did
But there’s worse than me hollering in these streets
I ain’t saying I shouldn’t do my time
But I think I deserve a few more human rights
And I can’t change what’s wrong or right
I try hard every day to wipe the black spot from my name
All I got is time
All I got is time
All I got is time
But I’m missing so much
All I got is time
All I got is time
All I got is time
But I’m missing so much
I ain’t saying I shouldn’t do my time
But I think I deserve a few more human rights
I can’t change what’s wrong or right
I try hard every day to wipe the black spot from my name
All I got is time
All I got is time
All I got is time
But I’m missing so much

I think about it every day, I think about it hard
Everything that came before, and everything that’s gone
I know it’s not good to dwell upon the past
But I won’t stop until they’re all lying in the grass
I’m not the kind of one to lay down and die
Even though I think about it from time to time
But I just keep moving on taking it day by day
I figure killing’s a good enough reason to stay
And I tell myself that I’m just avenging you
But I know it’s purely revenge for me
Revenge for me
Revenge for me
I don’t know who I am, look what they made of me
I know you don’t feel anything anymore
But I can’t stop this hurt that’s been with me
Since you’ve been gone
And I tell myself that I’m just avenging you
But I know it’s purely revenge for
And I tell myself that I’m just avenging you
But I know it’s purely revenge for me
Revenge for me
Revenge for me

If I’ve loved too little
If I know how, If I knew why
If my demons weren’t so kind
I know if I take too long
I’ll end up all alone
I’ll tell it to you straight
Do not resuscitate
Blame it all on my past mistakes
Oh hell, I can’t wait
Oh I cannot wait
If I was born with a curse
If I knew who, If I knew why
If my friends weren’t so blind
I know it won’t be long
Until I end up all alone
I’ll tell it to you straight
Do not resuscitate
Blame it all on my past mistakes
Oh hell, I can’t wait
Oh I cannot wait
I never wanted this for you
I never wanted this for you
I never wanted this for you
I never wanted this for you
I’ll tell it to you straight
Do not resuscitate
Blame it all on my past mistakes
Oh hell, I can’t wait
Oh I cannot wait

I came up from Belfast
With the blood of a copper still on my boots
To say he had it coming
Would be an understatement
I couldn’t let him get away with it
Not after what he did
I have to keep moving on
Because it won’t be long
Before they find me and take me to the hangman’s noose
I have to keep running like a dog on the loose
I came down from Glasgow
With a new name on my lips
Staying out of trouble
The best I could
I’m paranoid of every person I meet
I’ll never be free of the anxiety
I have to keep moving on
Because it won’t be long
Before they find me and take me to the hangman’s noose
I have to keep running like a dog on the loose
I have to keep moving on
Because it won’t be long
Before they find me and take me to the hangman’s noose
I have to keep running like a dog on the loose
Before they find me and take me to the hangman’s noose
I have to keep running like a dog on the loose

The demons come around in the day
Whispering things that we shouldn’t do or say
And the angels only do what they’re told
How could they ever be so bold
And I love you more now than before
As your dreams fill up the night sky
And the moon whispers a reply
You paint while I play my guitar
And write another sad song
And I love you more now than before
Ten years down and here’s to ten more
I still wonder why you haven’t walked out the door
I choose to love you every single day
And I try and love you in every single way
And I love you more now than before
Yes I love you more now than before

I woke up with the sun in my eyes
The smouldering fire to keep me warm
Days turned to weeks and months to years
In this cold, cold world
I’m looking for you
And I’m not coming through
Cause the devil calls on me
Two or Three times a week
And I’m falling from grace
There’s not a day goes by that you don’t cross my mind
Since they took you away
But I know the law will be no help
For someone like me
I’m looking for you
And I’m not coming through
Cause the devil calls on me
Two or Three times a week
And I’m falling from grace
Yes I’ve fallen from grace
I’m looking for you
And I’m not coming through
Cause the devil calls on me
Two or Three times a week
And I’m falling from grace
I said I’m falling from grace
