Mockingbird Wish Me Luck - Orphans Of A Storm lyrics

I wrote a failure's guide to hitchhiking On a wall somewhere in Michigan I woke up to a weatherman He said it's getting worse in steady increments My sense of humour just got blacker With the thoughts that whiskey entertained The funerals that held my life My house that burnt down in the rain When our fences came down We were left in rapture's hands Black paint black canvases The cards we were dealt we eviction notices When our fences came down We were left to our own devices I didn't pray for rain but it felt cool on my skin Unloaded drums and stop banging guns The first sight of blood from a busted lip Revealed me a captain without a ship My sister loaded up my pockets With our mothers j**elry She told me not to look so f*cking sad "Think of this as a requiem" I never asked for spring But i could barely even speak
