3 Sisters

I pick you up inside a hopeless prayer
I see you, beholden to nothing
I make a living crying, "It ain't fair"
And not budging

I don't see why you would lie
It was never the love you wanted
It's a state of mind you designed
You get everything that you want

You might get lost in the moment
Take it easy on your opponent
It plays on my mind, how the time passing
Covers you like a friend

I don't see why you would lie
It was never the love you wanted
It's a state of mind you defined
You take anything that you want

If you're not living, then you're dying
Just a raw nerve, satisfying
Some futile bottom line, all my life I've been
Running from what you want

You drive like you're wanted in four states
In a busted truck in Opelika
Your bad reputation carries
And I'm just like ya

Try to justify and scrape by
I was always the one unsteady
And it's a state of mind, you malign
And you don't get caught up in much

I'm defenseless against the sales pitch
Am I your moat or your drawbridge?
It plays on my mind, how the time passing
Holds you like pocket change

I don't see why you would try
It was never my love you wanted
It always mystifies me, the time passing
Covers you like a friend

If you're not living, then you're dying
A lightning bolt, horrifying
Unsuspecting sky, all my life I've been
Running from what you want
