John Calvin Abney - Way Out

Fall put out her fire,
better get on before the ice gets bad.
I've had all the memories,
all the drinking I can stand.

Ring around the moonlight,
Halo in the sky,
I couldn't cut down from the heavens,
What he told you he would buy.

We weren't looking for a way out,
But I was, and I ain't too proud.

Funny things that happen,
when you play the moments of your past.
Minutes like molasses,
You begin to age twice as fast.

No ring around your finger,
No pocket full of notes,
Signifying salvation,
Instead, I grabbed my coat.

We weren't looking for a way out,
But I was, and I ain't too proud.

Push boulders up a mountain,
It's a lifelong job to be blessed.
But every time they crash down,
They lay heavy on my chest.

Every start sweet,
Every ending ending cruel,
Every pill sugar,
And every blade dull,

Are you looking for a way out?
Because I was, and I ain't too proud.

If you're looking for a way out,
Like I was before, will you believe me now?
