lyrics

God’s whiskey slid down my throat last night as I learned
These high beams don’t reflect well in red blood
No shimmer or dance of light can hit my eyes
And blunt force trauma never did me any good

But these cowboys and these demons still milk me for what I have
Out on that old McLeod Peak
Chiming in sequence I know I’m just death’s boy
I'm dancing as my veins leak

Call off your feral men please I can’t take this any more
These cloudy nights are always pressuring
With the fog that pushed me down until my
Head was level with the town
The sparkling lights of Missoula

But these hellhounds and these pine trees still track me down tonight
Out on the old McLeod Peak
Filtering the moonlight I know that they can see
Through my skin already so weak

I tried to bury the hatchet but it ended up in my spine
I plummet down and find the soil again
With the fog that pushed me down until my
Head was level with the town
The sparkling lights

But these hellhounds and these pine trees still track me down tonight
Out on the old McLeod Peak
Chiming in sequence I know I’m just death’s boy
I'm dancing as my veins leak

God’s whiskey slid down my throat last night as I learned
These high beams don’t reflect well through the woods
I can only act on the compass that flows in my blood
But a blade in the back never did me any good
And blunt force trauma never did me no good
