lyrics

Dear Continence,

This is my farewell. From this point on if there's something trying to break free out of me there will not be any hold left barred; there won't be anything keeping me from hell or kingdom come.

So go and squeeze the life right outta me. Settle at least for piss and sin, or blood and irony. Let our leaders cry in unison for what we choose to be; I'm leaving their edicts, concrete hand me downs, and frivolous things.

I was drunk and I was crazy I was hellbent on the blues. I was wild and I was angry when I found out it was a ruse. I was drunk and I was crazy I was batshit over you. I was drunk and I was crazy I was true.

In a corner of the winter, even darker then the rest, I found you in your waiting to put your words out to the test, sitting in the foreground of a slowly forging better life, wild and drunk dancing your way through every night.

But in the spring you came out swinging with footwork like Ali and a right like Smokin Joe like who'd have even known that you were minutes from the end, inches from the cliff, but something pulled you back now can you tap that thing again?

You were drunk and you were crazy you were hellbent on the blues. But you filled the world with light you filled the world with truth. You were drunk and you were crazy and you almost never knew that you were drunk and you were crazy you were true.

Dear Continence, can you forgive me this? You served me well when we were kids, but now the time has come that I've gotta deal with this, Dear Continence. Dear Continence.

We were drunk and we were crazy we were fucked up on the blues. We stood a million stories tall against the bullshit and abuse. We were drunk and we were crazy we were filling better shoes. We were drunk and we were crazy we were true.

We were drunk and we were crazy we were true.
