• Brand New
• The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me

I used to be such a burning example

I used to be so original

I used to care, I was being cared for

Made sure I showed it to those that I love

I used to sleep without a single stir

‘Cause I was about my father’s work

Well take me out tonight

The ship of fools I’m on will sink

I’m my own stone around my neck

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

I used to pray like God was listening

I used to make my parents proud

I was the glue that kept my friends together

Now they don’t talk and we don’t go out

I used to know the name of every person I kissed

Now I’ve made this bed and I can’t fall asleep in it

Well throw me that lifeline

The ship of fools I’m on will sink

I’m my own stone around my neck

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

Never hit the brakes

There’s no time to save him

He just ran out in the street

Anybody know his name?

I think I recognize him

Sure as hell, he paid for that mistake

Woah, woah, woah, woah

(I used to be such a burning example)

So take me out tonight

(I used to be so original)

The ship of fools I’m on will sink

(I used to care, I was being cared for)

I’m my own stone around my neck

(Made sure I showed it to those that I love)

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

(I used to pray like God was listening)

To save my life tonight

(I used to make my parents proud)

The ship of fools I’m on will sink

(I was the glue that kept my friends together)

I’m my own stone around my neck

(Now they don’t talk and we don’t go out)

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give
