It Only Takes One Shot
True Detective S2
The Only Thing Worth Fighting For
Waking up is harder than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms of
dusty books and quiet dreams.
Pictures on the mantle, speak your name,
softly like forgotten tunes, just
outside the sound of pain.
Weren't we like a pair of thieves,
with tumbled locks and broken codes
You can not take that from me,
my small reprieves, your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield,
locked inside a holy war
You're lovin' my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
Change will come to those who
have no fear
But I'm not her, and you never were
the kind who kept a rulebook near
What I said was never, what I meant
And now you've seen my world in flames my shadow songs, my deep regret
Weren't we like a pair of thieves,
with tumbled locks and broken codes
You can not take that from me,
My small reprieves, your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield,
locked inside a holy war
You're lovin' my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
This is My Least Favorite Life
This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don't
The kiss holds a million deceits
And a lifetime goes up in smoke
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The nights that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home
We wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
The station rolls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
May be they're yours, maybe they're mine
This is my least favorite life
The one where I am out of my mind
The one where you are just out of reach
The one where I stay and you fly
I am wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of the blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
Lately
Lately I'm not feeling like myself
When I look into the glass, I see someone else
I hardly recognize this face I wear
When I stare into her eyes, I see no one there
Lately I'm not feeling like myself
Lately I've been losing all my time
All that mattered to me slipped my mind
Everytime I hit another town,
strangers appear to lock me down
Lately I've been losing all my time
The mystery that no one knows
Where does love go when it goes?
Lately words are missing from now on
Vanished in the haze of love gone wrong
There's no future, there's no past
In the present, nothing lasts
Lately someone's missing from now on
The mystery that no one knows
Where does love go when it goes?
A Church In Ruins
You were alone and you were alive
Among the woken dead
He was a liar but not a tone
Still he went to your head
He said, I love you baby like a miner loves gold,
and this will never grow old
Lost in the ether, down in the blind
and not a word was said
but he was neither, vicious or kind
as he laid there and bled
His hands were on you and it felt just the same
as when he didn't know your name
and he said, I love you baby like a miner loves gold
and this will never grow old
Darkness for cover
church in ruin
there's nothing left to feel
Goodbye lover, this is your doing
a heart against the wheel
It Only Takes One Shot
My bed is now a cylinder of steel
Cold and hard and shiny
To match the way I feel
The dust in here is like a burning wind
Black as coal and thunder
Dark as all my sins
I took it for a long, long time
And a woman can take a lot
Two can be undone by three
But it only takes one shot
You were there
To see me beg and kneel
What kind of man would ask me then
If he could make a deal?
When lovers of the future read these lines
A sound of steel and thunder
Will echo in their minds
I took it for a long, long time
And a woman can take a lot
Two can be undone by three
But it only takes one shot
I took it for a long, long time
And a woman can take a lot
Two can be undone by three
But it only takes one shot
Ashes become speed
And turn to blood
It's strange to see
How sharp and clean
The things that come from love
