Lie In The Dirt

It's the measure of a man Sixteen scars on the back of my hand 45 years of lies and sin but I didn't tell you to let me in Do you want to lie in the dirt Here beside me so we can flirt Dozen years ago you told me Babe I love you, let me in Facts are only useful if You have a lie or two to give You can't have one without the other And I can't tell you how to live Rest in peace here lie in the dirt Sleep is not a dirty word Dreams are not a little death You can always let me in It ain't science No bad or good Nothing's righteous Just bitter blood It ain't science No bad or good Nothing makes it better Just bitter blood Nothing's sacred after dark Meet me at midnight in the old ball park Secrets told behind the pine trees Always to protect your kin Our roots are buried in the same place That's why you're my mirror face You don't have to get your hands dirty I am not your beast within When you turn to habit and ritual The reasons I'm here become fictional I'm not here to prop a martyr No matter how deep the link There's no fighting with your inner self You lose that battle the deeper you delve F*ck the face behind the mask No matter how deep you sink It ain't science No bad or good Nothing is righteous Just bitter blood It ain't science No bad or good Nothing makes it better Just bitter blood Ah our roots are buried in the same soil F*ck it hurts, the blood boils F*ck I hate how I hated myself Why can't I just let you in Our roots are buried in the dirt F*ck the facts that left us hurt This is why I keep my mouth shut When I just want to breathe again It ain't science No bad or good Nothing makes it better Just bitter blood
