Jason Isbell - Chaos And Clothes lyrics

The ground was wet and the sky was dark You took her bet, she took your heart Wrapped it 'round an oak tree Like you did that '67 GTO Oh no Lovers leave chaos and clothes In quiet corners where you rarely ever go One day you find proof she was real Despite your struggle to forget Oh yes You're in a fight to the d**h my friend Black metal t-shirts your shield You've got your past on your breath my friend Now name all the monsters you've k**ed Let's name all the monsters you've k**ed The man she chose to take your place Turns his collar up to better frame his face How you'd love to hate her But you just can't hate somebody you don't know Oh no Did she leave a trail of crumbs So you could find you're what you could become Or did she know you well enough To realize that garden just won't grow? Oh no You're in a fight to the d**h my friend Airways a grand battlefield You've got your past on your breath my friend Now name all the monsters you've k**ed Let's name all the monsters you've k**ed In my sleep I build machines But nobody ever wants to hear about my dreams Last night I saw a burning Ferris Wheel The meaning's anybody's guess Oh yes Lovers leave chaos and clothes More debris that you can sort through in one go You say love is hell But it's the ghost of love that's made you such a mess Oh yes You're in a fight to the d**h my friend Fight like you're chained to the wheel You've got your past on your breath my friend Now name all the monsters you've k**ed Let's name all the monsters you've k**ed
