Lyrics
Lights up
Blows out the flame
Hennessey on his breath
Shirt tucked
Fingers show the pain
An unwelcome guest
His eyes
Have seen no glory
Things better off forgot
No ties
A hell of a story
Of a time when he was on top
Don't shoot the messenger
Just 'cause you won't hear it
Your dark passenger
Fights a losing war
Don't shoot the messenger
Watches his back
Can't shake the feeling
Something's coming his way
A Broken pact
Scars are bleeding
A purebred castaway
