Brand New – Millstone

I used to be such a burning example,

I used to be so original.

I used to care, I was being cared for.

Made sure I showed it to those that I love.

I used to sleep without a single stir,

‘Cause I was about my Father’s work.

Well Take me out tonight,

The ship of fools I’m on will sink.

My own around my neck,

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.

I used to pray a God was listening.

I used to make my parents proud.

I was the glue that kept my friends together,

Now they don’t talk and we don’t go out.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed.

Now I’ve made this bed and I can’t fall asleep in it.

Take me out tonight,

The ship of fools I’m on will sink.

Millstone around my neck,

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.

Throw me that lifeline,

The ship of fools I’m on will sink.

My own stone around my neck

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.

Never hit the brakes

There’s no time to save him,

He’s run out in the street

Anybody know his name?

I think I recognize him

(Sure it’s him?)

He’s made from our mistakes

Woah,

Woah.

So take me out tonight.

The ship of fools I’m on will sink.

My own stone around my neck.

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.

To save my life tonight.

The ship of fools I’m on will sink

My own stone around my neck

Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.
