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
