TrabS - Mexican Standoff (outlaw country, blues) Lyrics

Knocked you down that summer day
Blood mixed with dust, your teeth in clay
My own blood laid there in the dirt
Still see the bruises, still feel the hurt
(Some stains don't wash away)
These swarms are callin' for my soul
The writhin' bugs done took their toll
Your path is long unlike my own
Let me bear this burden alone
(Won't let you turn to stone)
Like thunder crackin' through rotted pines
Two lost souls on borrowed time
(Can't outrun these battle lines)
We can build somethin' better than pain
(Though our hands are stained)
Turn this poison into summer rain
(Might wash away this shame)
Got destruction in our veins
But we'll learn to heal these chains
Before we're both insane (ooh yeah)
These scorpion swarms could learn to dance (lost at all)
Give this cruel world one more chance (ooo, ohh)
Trade their stingers for sweet refrains (ow wah owh)
Like summer wind through broken panes
(Music through these deadly banes)
Mama's guitar strings still ring true
Through every storm we've been through
We owe some beauty to this earth
For all the screams and all the hurt
(Might find what we're worth)
(ooo)
(ooo, oooah)
We can build somethin' better than pain
(Though our hands are stained)
Turn this poison into summer rain
(Might wash away this shame)
Got destruction in our veins
But we'll learn to heal these chains
(Before we're both insane)
(before we're both insane)
What if we built this box of song?
Make music from what we did wrong
Let these creatures learn to play
'Stead of tearin' souls away
(Might save our souls someday)
