Description you have more grace than i do nowadays
twisted around your bones like poison ivy
the glue keeping all of your pieces together

no one told me the world would be so quiet
i never thought i would understand
the urge to scream even when nothing can hear you
but somehow, this is better than nothing

the few splinters of my wings that still cling on hopefully
the burn in my throat, the bang of a gun
somehow, this is better than nothing

and you have taught me many things, over the years
how to swallow down the bitter taste of freedom
how to want things you already have
how to grit your teeth through the pain
and keep walking anyway

you have more grace than i do, nowadays
far closer to heaven than i've been in years
i never thought i would understand
the urge to scream when you cannot hear me

the burn in my throat, the bang of a gun
the bitter taste of freedom
somehow, this is better than nothing

That's right -- what's happiness when you can have a handful of Winchester!
