To bury the sun So pyrrhic a victory Poetry in the shape of her hair They get you like that, you should always beware Beautiful was too clumsy a word To touch such poetry it's fucking absurd What were you thinking? Just keep on drinking Whiskey tastes better We are the cracked, we are the shattered We judge our competence by broken or battered You're on the edge? Well take my hand And we'll put our best feet forwards We are the cracked, we are the shattered We judge our competence by broken or battered You're on the edge? Well take my hand And we'll put our best feet forwards All the parts of you that believed In the tender times that dared to hope Take them to the river like orphans in a sack And drown them Counting the time it takes to sever Dying hands were to been joined forever Oh God sometimes there ain't enough drink in the world Sever the ties, damned be the past You always know that hope never lasts Whiskey tastes better when you've nothing left to lose We are the cracked, we are the shattered We judge our competence by broken or battered You're on the edge? Well take my hand And we'll put our best feet forwards All the parts of you that believed In the tender times that dared to hope Take them to the river like orphans in a sack And drown them We'll render pure We'll expurgate Shut up you stupid fuck it's all too late It's always too fucking late
