    LYRICS
    Went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and learn
    Things I never really wanted to know.
    The walk got a little far so I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar; Stains that showed what’s in the girl before.
    But I want to be where all the stupid shit I say Sounds so romantic and true.
    Cause I’d rot in hell with you,
    If you’d just ask me to.
    I love the shitty things we do together,
    Live with me in this sin forever.
    Hell and you, I know you want it too.
    I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
    Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.
    We take things a little far, but you couldn’t name a place I wouldn’t go with you. A plane, a train, a car, I’d run. If I was dead I’d float.
    I’d crawl in bed with you.
    Even on someone else’s blood on top of someone else’s love,
    In the worst motel we find.
    Cause home is the last place that I’d stand to be with anyone but you.
    I’d rot in hell with you,
    If you’d just ask me to.
    I love the shitty things we do together,
    Live with me in this sin forever.
    Hell and you, I know you want it too.
    I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
    Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.

    Some people hear a romantic song. I hear a reminder of how much an addict can put their substance above everything else. Hauntingly beautiful song.

    I love the shitty things we do together
    Live with me in this sin forever
    Hell, and you -

Unfortunately, I did have to step back and let go. One can only walk through such a purgatory for so long with the one they love and adore before they too lose their faith and their way. Again, beautifully written, as is the dreamer song. All of them really. One of my favorite singers. Blessed be.

    My ex split 9 months ago. Was with her for 4 years and she ghosted me a month into a job i got to start supporting us and get us off our feet. I havent been able to play my guitar since so when i do play i feel like im gonna look just as frantic and crazy as this guy when i get hit with the random mood swings. Not to knock the look you make when you play, i think its totally awesome and makes it interesting to watch especially when you throw in those deep voiced lines like "IF I WAS DEAD I'D- float"
    Edit: 3 years later and i can tell you his personality doesnt just split when the voice goes deep. It splits in moments where he says "i want to be, where all the stupid shit i say..." where as the studio recording says "alll the stupid things i say..."

    "Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers.
    And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself.
    But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

      I was sceptical at first, but “I wanna be where all the stupid shit I say sounds so romantic and true”, typical of certain inebriated folk. “Take the shot, see this chance, feel the fire and let me have this dance” could be the liquor speaking to him, or him convincing himself that’s where he wants to be.
      In the studio version the song actually slows a little after he says this, giving off a sort of intoxicated effect.
      Dunno if it’s at all accurate but I wouldn’t have seen it if I wasn’t there myself one time, an amazing song either way

In my opinion, that‘s what makes people so human and relatable. So no need to hide the tears. I really hope this doesn‘t seem weird but you know, it‘s okay to cry. Even as a grown man.
