Seven Years

There's hell in this heart and there’s hell in this house and there's hell in all the spaces in between

There's footsteps up the hallway where I used to walk when we still lived the dream

I slept with my window open with the sleet rain and the hell inside my heart

There’s smoke rising through the roof as I get high on Tuesday night by lamplight with the smell of cedar in my bones



So long to seven years

I poured it down the drain

With all the whiskey and the pain

And here's to you my dear

Such a shame you couldn't stay

The demons never went away

I'm long gone



Smoked my way through a Sunday hangover

Choked my way through a four leaf clover

Cause whiskey ain't liquid luck

And it never helped me with giving a fuck

Puzzle pieces torn and frayed

My symmetry in disarray

I can't quite remember the last time I woke up without the shakes



So long to seven years

I poured it down the drain

With all the whiskey and the pain

And here's to you my dear

Such a shame you couldn't stay

The demons never went away

I’m long gone



So suddenly we find ourselves two years deep

Forever further from the people we wanted to be

So fucking hang up the phone, get high, go back to sleep

So please just take what you need, I am my greatest defeat



And I love you

With every broken part of me



So long to seven years

I poured it down the drain

With all the whiskey and the pain

And here’s to you my dear

Such a shame you couldn't stay

The demons never went away

I’m long gone
