"Promised Land" lyrics

"Promised Land"

Well I'll take what I get and give what I can
Let you bleed me dry with an open hand
The more that I try, the less that I can
As you leave me to die in the Promised Land

Oh, down we go
Won't you raise me some hell so I can feel right at home
Oh, down we go
Take everything and just leave me alone

The best version of me, it just ain't enough
Lord knows I've tried like hell to fix myself up
You're pointing at me and I'm pointing at you
We're both ready to die on this hill we call truth

Oh, down we go
Won't you raise me some hell so I can feel right at home
Oh, down we go
Take everything and just leave me alone!

Well I took what I got, and gave what I could
Let you bleed me dry like I knew you would
The more that I tried, the more you slipped away
All those promises died in the driveway that day
