Brand New Lungs

I'm going to find myself some brand new lungs

Because these ones are black and tired

I'll use them well and mind my health

And think nothing but good and pure thoughts

I've been bad, I know, and I'm sorry

You can still smell the smoke reek through my skin

Well I've had my way with the amenities

The depraved and loose guns are my kin

You always said

I'd have something to come back to

That I will always have a home

Well, you'll always be mine

That's who you belong to

You will never be alone

The boundaries of the poisoned sound

The bitterness is so profound

It's amazing how down and dirty others go

It's amazing how much you care at all

Forgive me,

Isn't this only a dream?

This ain't really me talking

You can't help but feel down

When you're floating around

On old borrowed wings that touch the ground

Sometimes I feel unfit to stay

Wanna take myself out, call it a day

But once I get some brand new lungs

I'll be fit to go and spend them again

And the drunks all cheat and lie

As the sober ones all cry

They feel obliged to apologize

Beg for forgiveness

To make them feel alright
