FLOGGING MOLLY LYRICS - Punch Drunk Grinning Soul

"Punch Drunk Grinning Soul"



It took me everything I had

To give all that I could

Walk beside me while I sleep

Steer me from the slumber wolf

Tangled forest of the mind

Speaks to me of self-despise

Close the window through the pane

Hear the siren's serenade



Could have been the comeback kid

The southpaws' legend glove to fill

No shadow boxer but the one

A true contender for the crown

Now this punch drunk grinning soul

In its' corner begs 'no more'



[Chorus]

Hey now, stay proud

You were lost on a blue day

Hey now, stay proud

Hey now, stay proud

you were lost on a blue day

Hey now, stay proud

But we hardly knew ya



The chamber echo never speaks

The rushin' tide devours my feet

No global warming fills this soul

For hell it freezes what it stole

From the beggar's empty plate

To our world that stuffs its' face



[Chorus]



But these tired eyes are crashin' down on me

While the paint never dries

On these four walls that now suffocate me

But tonight, maybe tonight

All will be free



Release, unlock this prison door

It can't hold me anymore

Serpent lied with sting of tale

Hand of reason rusts the nail

Now this punch drunk grinning soul

In its' corner begs 'no more'



[Chorus]
