Paratrooper’s Battlecry

[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work
So I bought a statue of Jesus
And listen to Abby's old high school demos
And smoked a bag of reefer
I got bills coming up, debts still due
And I've got too much on my mind
To stay in the moment
It's always blowing out the windows and into the night

[Chorus]
Stay behind me
My once sweet Lorraine
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
Build me a castle, Maria, I pray
Take these weeds outta my head
When I'm barely living and almost dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Almost dead

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of getting lifted
Sick of going under
Tired of giving too much
I've been down in a hole for so long
I don't know if any love could fill it back up
I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave
Can't live in them old mistakes
And I remember what TK said:
"You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"

[Chorus]
Stay behind me
My once sweet Lorraine
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
And build me a castle, Maria, I pray
Way up high and outta my head
When I'm barely living and almost dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Almost dead

[Chorus]
Stay behind me
My once sweet Lorraine
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
And build me a castle, Maria, I pray
Take these weeds outta my head
When I'm barely living and almost dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Almost dead
