Bear with Me

Well I could be brief

But what would that change?

I just beg to borrow time

Adding minutes to my life

To long for something I can't buy

And I try to look like I'm fine

But there's proof in every phrase

And these rings around my tired eyes say something's gotta change

Ashes ashes

Buried in his mattress

Slept in flames

And smothered in his blanket

Stay with me

Bear with me

I am a novelty

But I'm twice the man I used to be

Oh agony (agony)

Bear with me

I am a dying breed

But I'm twice the man I used to be

Ashes ashes

Well I do believe that our decline is pre-disposed

But it keeps me on my toes

I can't accept what I can't control

And I pray that I can be cured

And never leave this place

Lady luck beyond my sight as I'm just withering away

Ashes ashes

Buried in his mattress

Slept in flames

And smothered in his blanket

Stay with me

Bear with me

I am a novelty

But I'm twice the man I used to be

Oh agony (agony)

Bear with me

I am a dying breed

But I'm twice the man I used to be

And it's too late for me

I've been talking in my sleep

And I've got nothing to say to me

Ashes ashes

Buried in his mattress

Slept in flames

And smothered in his blanket

Stay with me

Bear with me

I am a novelty

But I'm twice the man I used to be

Oh agony (agony)

Bear with me

I am a dying breed

But I'm twice the man I used to be
