Crutches Lyrics

I've been a rock

And I've trailed crutches

You can bolster yourself here as long as you need

Because I love to the death

I breathe your light upon my breath

The blood I've bled is the shade you bleed



I've felt a loss

And I've blown chances

You can rest your bones up here for as long as you need

Because I love to the death

I breathe your light upon my breath

The blood I've bled is the shade you bleed



Keep your back straight



Let me drive

You know your eyes

aren't good at night

I'll keep us alive,

as I'm always called to do

The holiest chance

The whitest sands

What's exchanging hands

doesn't matter anymore



I'm not sorry if I want something better for you than your dirty,

overpriveleged friends

To radiate impressively they would have to be made from more than dirt

Would they give you their warm shirt on a cold night, if you asked right?

(I would. Even if you didn't ask, I would.)

Turn a trick, baby, and he'll give you more.

"Make a scene lady and you'll get what you ask for."



I'll keep us alive



Keep your back straight, lady, I'm watching you.
