Coward's Road

I walk alone down a coward's road
I walk alone down a coward's road
I lost sight of my lady
Somewhere in the cold
So now I walk alone
Walk alone
Down a coward's road
Who am I now
Without your curse
Who am I now
Without your curse
I've stumbled into my freedom
For better or for worse
But who am I now
Who am I now
Without your curse
What did I do wrong
How can I make it right
And keep your poison
Coursing through my life
I thought we were strong
Until our chance at a light
I took my treacherous heart
And fled into the night
There is no peace
For a traitor's ghost
There is no peace
For a traitor's ghost
I'll spend eternity singing
About the one I loved the most
But there is no peace
No peace to be found
For a traitor's ghost

Please be kind to yourself
You’ve been swimming upstream for far too long
Please be kind to yourself
You’re trying to move mountains all on your own
Your mind is an ocean full of regrets and grief
Your heart is a tide that pulls the weight of the world in
Your body’s a map of scars
And every breath you take is a miracle
And that’s who you are
So please be kind to yourself
You’ve been swimming upstream for far too long
Please be kind to yourself
You’re trying to move mountains all on your own
All on your own
Be careful with your thoughts
Your mark on this world is a gift
Be gentle on your bones
They’ve carried you through darkest storms
And coldest of mists
Take a moment just to be
Just to be yourself
Give yourself that chance for peace
So please be kind to yourself
You’ve been swimming upstream for far too long
Please be kind to yourself
You’re trying to move mountains all on your own
On your own
Please be kind to yourself
You're not on your own

Only Dead Men

Dear mom I've played the game
By the rules written in my head
But they don't quite work the same
When there's a cold man in my bed
I didn't get his name
He was so quick to get me wet
He thought he had me tamed
But then he lost his head
Do we satisfy
Do we please the eye
Mister do you like your dolls grown up
If by silver they mean blood
By love they mean lust
Yes I'll keep your fool's rules
But only dead men know me well
Dear mom it's been two months now
And I tried to date again
Met a nice boy last night
Best twenty bucks I spent
I liked it when he smiled
Liked it better when he cried
Had to put him in the ground
But hey at least I tried
Do we satisfy
Do we please the eye
Mister do you like your dolls grown up
If by silver they mean blood
By love they mean lust
Yes I'll keep your fool's rules
But only dead men know me well
Dear mom I tracked him down
The man who left us both for dead
Has a house in a pretty town
That's where our money went
I took him to the park
Played the little girl again
Then I made Daddy pay
For all the nights we wept
If by silver they mean blood
By love they mean lust
Yes I'll keep your fool's rules
But only dead men know me well
If by silver they mean blood
By love they mean lust
Yes I'll keep your fool's rules
But only dead men know me well
If by silver they mean blood
By love they mean lust
Yes I'll keep your fool's rules
But only dead men know me well
