Reckoning

This house is cold and lonely

This place is just a tomb

It’s an old cruel reminder of the past

That’s what’s left of me and you

I can’t sleep in our bed no more

Misery shakes me to the bone

Even when I try to get some rest

I cannot sleep alone

So I hide from the reckoning

I hide from the truth

And I hide from the reckoning

Till I’m lying next to you

Till I’m lying next to you

These prescription pills get me by

At the bottom of a bottle every night is where I hide

I hide from the fact that you’re gone

And after all these years I’m all alone

At the end of my road now

On my way to ease the pain

When I get there I put that cold steel to my head

I squeeze the trigger beside your grave

Hide from the reckoning

Hide from the truth

Yea, I hide from the reckoning

Till I’m lying next to you

Till I’m lying next to you

Till I’m lying next to you

Yea I hide from the reckoning

I hide from the truth

Yea I hide from the reckoning

Till I’m lying next to you
