Survivor Guilt
She warned him once about her luck,
Put out her match with a tear.
She said "I'm bored to death, and born to...
Look, you want way the hell away from here?"
He said "you don't look that tough to me."
He leaned and lit a cigarette.
"How bout you wait to see just what you regret,
'till we get what we get."('till we get what we get)
Does it make you stronger?
First you gotta survive...
What didn't kill you'll make you wish you'd died. (X2)
She struggled to read his knuckle tattoos,
beneath the ring and the scar.
But the left said Love, the right read True,
She said "Please say you got a car."
"It's parked out back, pointed outta state,
it's a recent acquisition, should probably ditch the plates."
"And it won't get me far enough to ever lose track...
but yeah it's plenty car enough for never comin' back."
Does it make you stronger?
First you gotta survive.
What didn't kill you'll make you wish you died. (X2)
"Yellow duffel in the seat back yonder,
bunch of pretty junk I bought her,
yours if you want;
either to you or the flames,
to me it's the same."
And she said "No thanks man,
my baggage is packed,
the name on my ankle,
the knife in my back..."
"But I know a place on our way outta town,
it's as good as burned down."(as good as burned down,
it's as good as burned...)
Does it make you stronger?
First you gotta survive.
What didn't kill you(will make u wish u'd), what didn't kill you,
what didn't kill you... Will make you wish you'd died.
You call that scar,
a bruise, a tear,
pillowmarks,
souveniers.
