"Take My Hell" lyrics

"Take My Hell"

Well, I'm a man
And I've been trying my hand
Doing the best that I can
To keep getting by
But I fell along
And though my closet's got bones
With only half of them known
Well, they're spilling out

So please take these chains, take my heart
Spit and sand are going to fall apart
And I can't stand to be holding cards
When the lights go out
I need to rock, need to roll
I gotta be and gotta go
And I can't see where the light is shone
Without a little help
So please take my hell

Well, I've got a son
And after all that I've done
I probably should have been shunned
But I'm standing tall
And he used to say
"Daddy, why don't you pray?"
And though my spirit's been frayed
I'm pulling through

So please take these chains, take my heart
Spit and sand are going to fall apart
And I can't stand to be holding cards
When the lights go out
I need to rock, need to roll
I gotta be and gotta go
And I can't see where the light is shone
Without a little help
So please take my hell

Well, I see the road
But the line that I toe
It makes it harder to go
Where I oughta be
So I trudge along
And through the words of a song
Try not to get 'em all wrong
And I'm trying hard

So please take these chains, take my heart
Spit and sand are going to fall apart
And I can't stand to be holding cards
When the lights go out
I need to rock, need to roll
I gotta be and gotta go
And I can't see where the light is shone
Without a little help
So please take my hell
