Hello purgatory
Hello, sour grapes
Some folks love to shove
A person's face in his mistakes
So give me liquor, love, or lima beans
It's all just about the same
Say farewell to the place I knew
And left behind in flames
I'm going down, so far down
I'll never have to see the sky
Where no one ever has to sit
And watch a grown man cry
Leave this place while some trace
Of dignity remains
And warm my hands beside
A burning bridge along the way
Goodbye AnnaLisa
Goodbye certainty
Wring your hands and make all of your
Damn demands on me
Feels like we're on the wrong side
Of whatever side we're on
I guess freedom's just another word
For nothing left to pawn
I'm going down, so far down
I'll never have to see the sky
Where no one ever has to sit
And watch a grown man cry
Leave this place while some trace
Of dignity remains
And warm my hands beside
A burning bridge along the way
Hello purgatory.
