Outlaw Hearts ~ w/ Black Velvet Rose

i once thought i was alive, and somewhere deep
inside there was a little glimmer, a bright light.
now i sit in the pit of my sorrow, as the eternity of
nothingness bleeds from unforgiving eyes.

all of this guilt has built up, lingering in this borrowed heart,
my soulless fate you shape and mold within your hands.
i ask, beg for that which i will never receive, for forgiveness
to be released from this certain coming demise.

you lay your plans within the mirror, as you speak your lies,
this reflection has no voice, do you like what you hear in the silence?
with no cares or worries, no ties that bind, all has been forsaken,
carefully sown behind you, now you move on.

�my life ain�t nothin but a series of desperate
mistakes. that dark-eyed woman with the half
smile & the eager thighs is the latest.

she was a soothing oasis in my outlaw desert. her
renegade body was a big bottle of Dr. Feelgood for
my sickness. the nights we stole from a cut-rate
fairy tale almost made me forget who I am. til I got
ambushed by a preacher named regret.

I got Jesse James in my heart & the devil in my soul.
& somewhere there�s a bullet with my name on it.

�one day she�ll understand.
