The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire

And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar

When you're wrong
[Verso 4]
Am G
You'd be wrong if you were thinkin' that we all don't fade away
D F
Like dew drops in the dawn, like sun beams through the haze

It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin' tightly to the weights
