LYRICS... I need some help with this, can someone please fill
in the missing parts!
VERSE
Sister can you hear me now
The ringing in your ears
Down on the ground
My luck's been tried for years
I'm lost in the dark
And I feel like a dinosaur
Broken face and broken hands
I'm a broken man
CHORUS
I hit the wall
I'm about to fall
But I'm closing in on air
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black
VERSE
I read a thing about this girl
She was a hermit in her world
Her story was much like mine
She could be my valentine
And although we've never met
I won't forget her yet
She cut herself off from her past
Now she's alone at last
CHORUS
I feel so sick
????
But I'm closing down on air
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black
VERSE
Lost my life in cheap wine
Now it's quiet time
??? Jesus Christ
Could not help my fate
But I'm underneath a gun
I'm singing 'bout my past
Hide myself from wonderful things
But I could not make it last
CHORUS
I hit the wall
I'm about to fall
But I'm closing in on air
I feel so small
Underneath it all
Watch my taillights fade to black
VERSE
..Watch my taillights fade
..Watch my taillights fade
..Watch my taillights fade
