lyrics

you wanted me like a casual joke / said, "the money's not my worry when the wishing well's broke" / and you laid into me hard like a neck to a rope / I'm holding matches and a smokeless light all night / you're counting dozens upon dozens of my favorite goodbyes / so let me take a few for the ride / oh my only break to turn you off is suffocated by your spark to shine on, shine on / deserted like the kings and the pawn / oh, you can't rely on any sin around to sit back down / you weren't supposed to know the bones I have around / stop listening and make a sound / you troubled no man, you're a nomad only set up clean / you push your words and let your feet bring you right back to the scene / I'm thinking that you know what I mean / so don't you ever ask again / I told you what I had to spend / but the wishing well's broke / a table set for thousands of ghosts
