6's & 7's

cancelled out on the nerves
holding steady with hands folded
silent prayers to the blindfolded
hit me twice and say it's done
the life that has fully succeedded
in becoming undone
won't you love me just a while longer
i could flatline at any minute
just to say i wished you were stronger
so i don't burn before i break
i'm rolling the dice for 6's and 7's
only those poison laced lips know
that i'm trying to buy my way
into heaven

sing me soflty on
the righteous path
fit me into this life
so i can try to belong
tell me boys
this is what we waited for
this is it
this is war

i'll be the one who comes
the difference to your calling
while we hope and plead
to finish this strike safely
the memories will have to do
while you write me letters
and i cry about how much i missed you

something has to be watching me
good and evil alike
the sopunds of angels
calling my name
the bullets and barrels
thatpush to gain
while my pulse beats
your eyes driving me insane
how did we get so reckless
my hands in the air
while your arms around my neck
a whisper to my ear
a kiss and words i hear
the butterfly in front of me
i can hear them all say
before i revive
like a saints name
"we need him alive"

and so i take my leave
and rest by my grave
half past dead and
quarter past eleven
i wish i could have remained stronger
for you
buying my way into heaven
won't you just love me a little longer
