Borrowed & Blue - Defeater

Closing early morning just before sunrise

A night spent with the guilt

Until morning light

We share a cigarette, burning the shame

Our lungs heavy in bliss

Our arms are sore from the weight

I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned

The selfish and pride for the touch of her hand

Our lips speak in secrets

Our tongues lie in verse

Our hearts slower the guilt

Our love, our only recourse

And we share a cigarette, burning the shame

Our lungs heavy in bliss

Our arms are sore from the weight

I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned

The selfish and pride for the touch of her hand

And I’ll hold you close with the ebb and flow

While the tides may turn, we won’t

And I’ll hold you tight like an anchor line

Through the gruelling seas at night

And I’ll hold you close with the ebb and flow

While the tides may turn, we won’t

And I hold you tight like an anchor line

Through the gruelling seas at night

We share a cigarette, burning the shame

Our lungs heavy in bliss

Our arms are sore from the weight

I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned

Selfish and pride for the touch of her hand
