They Can Burn It Down If They Want

from Staring at a Ruin by jeremy r.r.

lyrics

she took all the dreams she ever had in her life
she put them in a letter to you
you couldn’t understand when she spoke of heaven
and the untold delights of deluth
face it man, there was nothing out there for you

she could paint it in oils
she could write it in words
you wouldn’t understand if you wanted to
you can leave early
take some time off
if anyone needs it you do
i was young once
there was a time i needed it too.

take all the drinks you ever had in your life
and all the ones that you wanted to
if you could remember ever one of those nights
and what it is you said you would do
face it boy, there was nothing in there for you

you can paint it in oils
you can write it in words
tear it apart if you want to
you should give it a rest
take some time off
if anybody needs it, it’s you
yeah i’ve been drinking
i’ve needed too

take everything you’ve ever had in your life,
all the things your father put aside for you
your mama’s good looks
the shit your grandfather took
the guns, the silver, the gold, and the jewels
yeah i was young once
it takes time to know
there is nothing in there for you
sorry son, she ain’t coming back to you
sorry son, she ain’t coming back to you
