Paratrooper's Battlecry

It feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work
So I bought a statue of Jesus
And listened to Abby's old high school demos
And smoked a bag of reefer
I got bills comin' up, debts still due
And I got too much on my mind
To stay in the moment, it's always blowin'
Out the windows and into the night
Stay behind me, my own sweet Lorraine
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
Build me a castle, Maria, I pray
Take these weeds out of my head
When I'm barely livin' and almost dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, almost dead
I'm sick of gettin' left, sick of goin' under
Tired of givin' too much
I've been down in a hole so long I don't know
If any love can fill it back up
I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave
Can't live in them old mistakes
I remember what TK said, You can't steer no boat
By lookin' back at the wake
Stay behind me, my own sweet Lorraine
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
And build me a castle, Maria, I pray
Way up higher than my head
When I'm barely livin' and almost dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, almost dead
Stay behind me, my own sweet Lorraine
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
Build me a castle, Maria, I pray
Take these weeds outta my head
When I'm barely livin' and almost dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, almost dead
