We're Sure to Drown (Husk's Tale)

Maybe we should start at the beginning?

Like how you ended up in hell in the first place

(You really wanna know?) Of course!

That way, we can work out the best treatment plan for your specific situation

Situation, huh?

Okay, better you hear this from me than someone like Al

Huh?

I was once a wanderin' man 'cause I never felt at home

Now I'm just a gamblin' man, risking everything I own

The only spirit left in me's from a bottle off the shelf

And all it means is that I can't see a goddamn way to save my soul or self

There's a hole in me

And it's exposed for the world to see

It's what he knows, so I did what he pleased

But I can't be fucked to lose my patience

So I just stay drunk and complacent

I'm a wicked old soul, nowhere left to go

At the beck and call of the man on the radio

Raise a glass for the empty-hearted, too far gone to know when it started

A shark of the cards never shows his hand

And the same's still true when you have these claws and fangs

So don't think you can bring my walls down

I drank my fill and in that I'm sure to drown

You may well reap what you sow

But that isn't how this program goes

'Cause in the end all that we want is your soul saved (good luck with that)

I've watched the fall of many people

Both the good and the down-right evil

But if you think I'm giving up on you

Big mistake

I guess your old man got his dues when all was said and done

So they say, but there's none you have to give

Seein' all the chumps down here, I know I'm not the only one

Making mistakes, it's a part of how we live

So you've got a plan? Spit it out, go and try to get me clean!

Give me the chance to prove what I could do! (But the rot runs deep inside this shell of mine)

'Til there ain't nothing to redeem

But-

There's a hole in me

And it's exposed for the world to see

And you know that I'm a wrench in your machine
