An Invitation

Your ideas,
I don't consider a good time, man.
I hope you understand.
I just never had much of a taste for revenge.
I hoped to keep you as a friend,
But so much lead soaked down into your veins.
Your eyes poisoned and gray,
Now you're slipping her rings through your hands,
While I'm waiting in the van.

I remember when I'd want it back.
Really, are we ever gonna speak again?
I used to think I wouldn't have to ask,
But now I'll meet you at a casket.
Hope the flowers give us something to say,
While we're reckoning how this one got away.

Somewhere, I lost track
Of someone I won't get back.
Somewhere, I lost track
Of someone I won't get...

I remember when I'd want it back.
Really, are we ever gonna speak again?
I used to want to see you after class,
And now I'll meet you at a casket.
Hope the flowers give us something to say,
While we're reckoning how this one got away.

Do you know whose move is next?
Are you hoping to forget?
When the invitation comes,
Is it a wedding or a death?
Got no one else to tell.
No words we can sell.
Guess we'll just sit here
Wasting wine with no ideas.

Somewhere, I lost track
Of someone I won't get back.
I won't get back.
I won't get back.
I won't get back.
I won't get...

I'm built just to burn 'em,
If anyone's asking me.
Save 'em just to hurt 'em.
If anyone's asking,
Does anyone know the difference?
Your old man guaranteed
You would've been in the dirt by now
If it weren't for me.

You're glued to your guns,
And stuck to my chest.
Forgiving in the worst case,
Forgetting in the best.
You're glued to your guns,
And stuck to my chest.

If anyone has a question,
Then did anyone learn a lesson?
If anyone has a question,
I'll go on...
