Old Wounds

I drank my weight in whiskey
For way too damn long
And the hardest part of healing
Is knowing that you're doing it wrong
And this cross is too hard to carry
Does the punishment fit the crime
And I try to persuade the jury
But the judge is inside my mind

Sometimes the best thing to do
Is get to work on time and push right on through
There's no right way to stitch up old wounds
You just gotta stop the bleeding before it kills you
You just gotta stop the bleeding before it kills you

I was higher than the hilltops
Like the ones we used to climb
When I thought I found an answer
At the end of a knife
And to live is to suffer
It's the scars that give us meaning
And you don't have to duck for cover
Or run from what you're feeling

Sometimes the best thing to do
Is get to work on time and push right on through
There's no right way to stitch up old wounds
You just gotta stop the bleeding before it kills you
You just gotta stop the bleeding before it kills you

You just gotta stop the bleeding before
Sometimes the best thing to do
Is get to work on time and push right on through
