Lungs Like Gallows

I give blood to prove to myself

That I can matter to somebody else.

Is what makes a man the dirt on his hands?

If so, don't put you're faith in the desert sand,

because the wind is always blowing

There are gallows deep inside my lungs, that's where I hung ambition

Is it luck that's knocking right on my back door?

Because I've been breaking mirrors since 1984

I walk under ladders, I spill salt on sores

and I open my umbrella even when I am indoors

So give me seven more

I give blood not for the cause but to slowly give up the person I was

Holding my breath won't help, everything went to hell

So now I steal back pennies from the well

because my wishes failed

I am screaming at my own shadow to stop living like a ghost

Is it luck that's knocking right on my back door?

Because I've been breaking mirrors since 1984

I walk under ladders, I spill salt on sores

and I open my umbrella even when I am indoors

So give me seven more

I don't need her I'm not that desperate

Come visit me in twenty years and maybe then

cause I'm not done screaming yet

you can call off the intervention,

cause I don't need your attention

Is it luck that's knocking right on my back door?

Because I've been breaking mirrors since 1984

I walk under ladders, I spill salt on sores

and I open my umbrella even when I am indoors

So give me seven more

I don't need her I'm not that desperate

I don't need her I'm not that desperate
