Spent Everything

On Wednesday night down in front of the pews
they'll be hanging the prophet like they always do
if you don't see me I'll be seeing you

if walls are thin then the wind whips right thru
and time is all that's left in the ruins
so if you need to go I understand

cause we spent everything
and now we got nothing
just like we was before we had something
your mind is gone
like a rose in the fall
you're freezing and tired
all your tales so tall

now your daughter's in line
like your momma before
with her pills and promises
outside the door
what love disregards
Gideon sweeps off the floor

I'll take my chances
you never know
we've got to grow up
before we're too old
I'll take what I need
and nothing more

cause we spent everything
and now we got nothing
just like we was before we had something
you're always around
but you're never at home
someone's at the door
you won't answer that phone
