lyrics

I fully understand the course of my actions and all that they entail
And I fully regret the trail of consequence that brought me to this place
And I understand what this means to my soul
And I understand where you believe it’ll go
And you need to understand that given the choice I would do the same again.

So I’ve been drinking in the small hours, in the dark of the soul
And I remember everything, everything that I’ve been told
I may come across as crude, I may be subtle as a brick
I may not be astute but that don’t mean that I don’t think

And I know I have done wrong, I know I have caused real bleeding pain
And I know the truth of my sins and I know I remember everything
And I know the place where the devil’s music is made
And it’s not some lonely crossroads trail
It’s in small cold dark of the soul

I’m not looking for redemption; I know I’ve gone too far this time
Just give me 24 hours and another wrong can make this right
And as you consider this remember I remember everything
And I saw the look of recognition on his face as I heard the firing pin
slide into position
As the safety catch came off
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
But it’s all you’ve got
