Two Gallants - Despite What You've Been Told Lyrics
I guess by the bloodstain on your lipsAnd the wander of your fingertipsI should proof true to my emptinessAnd stay hereWell I'm just a kid of I'll reputeBut the skin I wear is my only suitAnd you are just a substituteFor the one that I hold dearYou know you could be anyoneGod forgive my tastless tongueI never should have been set freeI carve my eyes, I skin my faceAnd beg somehow to be replacedThat's how we deal with boys like meI guess by this world so sick with lossAnd your circusses so free of costI should climb down of my rugged crossAnd lay with youYou know by now it's half past lateAnd I only came here for escapeYou, you're just my next mistakeLike me to youYou know you could be anyoneGod forgive your unborn sonsI hope they don't end up like meI drag my mind through sheets of shameBlame myself, forgive the gameThat's how we deal with boys like meBut despite what you've been toldI once had a soulLeft somewhere behindA former friend of mineAnd I hate to speak so freeBut you mean not much to meSo if the streetlights they shine brightI'll be home tonightI guess by the dim light in your eyesAnd that to you all things come as a surpriseI should set the steel trap of your tightsAnd dive right inTo you I'm just a confused childInsecure or in denialGo raise your robes, go have your trial/tryI'll let you inYou know I could be anyoneGod forgive what I should have doneMy thoughts enough to guilty beAnd yes, I guess I made/make this bedBut I'll take the sidewalk insteadThat's how we deal with boys with meBut despite what you've been toldI once had a soulLeft somewhere behindA former friend of mineAnd I hate to sound so trueBut I mean nothing to youAnd with the streetlights they shine brightI'll be home tonight
