Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I open my eyes
But still manage to dream
And this cold bathroom floor
Now just feels like home to me
I stumble to the mirror
And I naturally start to clean
But my body's scorned with marks that say
"these aren't the last lines that I'll see"
So please cut this string
Attached to my wrists
And buried in my shaking palm
I hold this evil in my fist
I relive my pain
With every scar
It's a battle field of memories
That just won't go away from me
This world has tied me down
And the knot keeps tightening
Cause I'm just a puppet
Dangling from this breaking string
And maybe I'll turn this
blade the other way
And roll up my sleeves
To let the scars show my mistakes
So please cut this string
Attached to my wrists
And buried in my shaking palm
I hold this evil in my fist
I relive my pain
With every scar
It's a battle field of memories
That just won't go away from me
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
I can't breathe, I'm in need
Where's my crimson savior?
No I won't go back just to bleed
Forgive me, I promise I'll stay clean
But still manage to dream
And this cold bathroom floor
Now just feels like home to me
I stumble to the mirror
And I naturally start to clean
But my body's scorned with marks that say
"these aren't the last lines that I'll see"
So please cut this string
Attached to my wrists
And buried in my shaking palm
I hold this evil in my fist
I relive my pain
With every scar
It's a battle field of memories
That just won't go away from me
This world has tied me down
And the knot keeps tightening
Cause I'm just a puppet
Dangling from this breaking string
And maybe I'll turn this
blade the other way
And roll up my sleeves
To let the scars show my mistakes
So please cut this string
Attached to my wrists
And buried in my shaking palm
I hold this evil in my fist
I relive my pain
With every scar
It's a battle field of memories
That just won't go away from me
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
You couldn't make the cut
So now you'll make this cut
I can't breathe, I'm in need
Where's my crimson savior?
No I won't go back just to bleed
Forgive me, I promise I'll stay clean

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
i think its about a cocaine addiction after looking at the 3rd and 4th lines. very emotionally song and i can really relate to it, the addiction and desperation meaning it has to it, not the cocaine part.
I actually think it's about self harm <br /> <br /> "But my body's scorned with marks, that say "these aren't the last lines that I'll see.." <br /> I think lines means to cuts<br /> <br /> "I relive my pain, with every scar<br /> It's a battle field of memories, that just won't go away, for me...."<br /> <br /> every scar or cut relieves pain and in this battle all the scars are memories of what happened and it wont go away<br /> <br /> "And roll up my sleeves to let the scars show my mistakes"<br /> this means that the cuts and scars are hidden under the sleeve, and if they show they will also show his mistakes<br /> <br /> "No I won't crawl back just to bleed,<br /> Forgive me, I promise i'll stay clean"<br /> he says he wont do it again so he is asking someone to forgive him and he promises he will stay clean
