Damn the Truth
What I thought was your halo
What you thought was my armor's sheen
Was just a dim, dirty light-bulb
In that bar of fucked up dreams
And you were no angel
And I was no shining knight
Just two career drinkers
Itching for a fight
Still we found some common ground
And we headed out that night
And we rolled like river otters
Beneath that cold autumn moon light
You said you were a dreamer
And you hoped I was one too
You said, let's hitch our dreams together
And see what they can do
You could not see that
My golden dreams had long turned to rust
I was not aware that
Yours were no more than smoke and dust
We did not realize there was not enough of us
To become us
Oh, damn the truth
Oh, damn--damn the truth
And five months in
The magic was ebbing from your eyes
I mistook that as contentment
But you were just tuning out my lies
I said, I need to quit drinking
I'm going to join that triple A
You said, damn they won't get you sober
But by God I hope they tow your ass away
You were beginning to see how
My golden dreams had long turned to rust
I's becoming aware that
Yours were no more than smoke and dust
We were realizing there was not enough of us to become us
Oh, damn the truth
Oh, damn--damn the truth
And you said, let's cut our losses
While we still got something to lose
Stop pretending we've got choices
When there's nothing left to choose
We had ourselves a few good nights
So let's call this wreck a win
I'm heading up country
Don't ever want to see your face again
I said, let's cut our losses
While we still got something to lose
Stop pretending we've got choices
When there's nothing left to choose
You go your way
And I will stay behind
Going to by myself a shovel
To bury up all our wasted time
Let's cut our losses
While we still got something to lose
Stop pretending we've got choices
When there's nothing left to choose
Oh, let's cut our losses
While we still got something to lose
Stop pretending we've got choices
When there's nothing left to choose
Oh, let's cut our losses
While we still got something to lose
Stop pretending we've got choices
When there's nothing left to choose
And you could see that
My golden dreams had long turned to rust
I was fully aware that
Yours were no more than smoke and dust
We realized there was never enough of us to become us
Oh, damn the truth
Oh, damn--damn the truth
What you thought was my armor's sheen
Was just a dim, dirty light-bulb
In that bar of fucked up dreams
And you were no angel
And I was no shining knight
Just two career drinkers
Itching for a fight
Still we found some common ground
And we headed out that night
And we rolled like river otters
Beneath that cold autumn moon light
You said you were a dreamer
And you hoped I was one too
You said, let's hitch our dreams together
And see what they can do
You could not see that
My golden dreams had long turned to rust
I was not aware that
Yours were no more than smoke and dust
We did not realize there was not enough of us
To become us
Oh, damn the truth
Oh, damn--damn the truth
And five months in

When there's nothing left to choose
Oh, let's cut our losses
While we still got something to lose
Stop pretending we've got choices
When there's nothing left to choose
And you could see that
My golden dreams had long turned to rust
I was fully aware that
Yours were no more than smoke and dust
We realized there was never enough of us to become us
Oh, damn the truth
Oh, damn--damn the truth
