I can't live this way
Breaking all my rules again
Choking on my gin
You push till i give in
Till the loser always wins
Somehow with his beckoning
Bruising with his threats
Confusing what he says
But i won't live that way
Though i kinda want to anyway
Kinda want to play
With the pretty and the pure
When i return to the earth
I return to the dust
No more beauty by the pound
In this i do not trust
Cause nothing forgives
These rules and narrow margins
Cnd i lied
It's rules and narrow margins
I must live by
I can't find the time
I don't own a future
I couldn't bring that past back
I waste what little time i have
But i swear i almost touched it
Yet it slipped between my fingers
Sends shivers down my spine
Like a splinter in my mind
But it wasn't nothing, again
These rules and narrow margins
Cnd i lied
It's rules and narrow margins
That i must live by
Rules and narrow margins
That i must live by
