lyrics

I haven't had a dry night in longer that I can remember...
Made more allowance for decadence than I should admit.
Every secret I swallowed like cyanide...
Ended up rotting me out from the inside.

I always knew it would have to end this way,
I have a masters touch at fucking up pretty much everything.
Every dead pan, forked tongue delivery,
Another fist full of dirt to bury me.

Ain't that the way it always goes?
Pulling the ripcord... Saving myself before anybody know.
Ain't that the way it always goes?
Alone in the lifeboat saving myself... Before anybody knows.

Waving off questions, dancing through bullets and consequence.
Leaving a clear trail of bodies and evidence.
By the time they came to carry me away...
I was long gone on a midnight bullet train.

Ain't that the way it always goes?
Make a good entrance a quite good bye... Before anybody knows.
Ain't that the way that it always goes?
Light up the fuses...excuse myself before anybody knows.
