Almost, The - Life Lyrics

I always thought I could get what I wanted if I just pushed enough
Act as sad as I wanted, and something free happens
From the outside in it's a goldmine, it all turns to rot when you get inside
Chain up all the hope 'cause shit is what it's worth

You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that
I'm just who I am
You can't lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can't charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs, and that's a life of hell

Go on down to the water and throw a line or two in
See if you can pull something out that'll stick to your skin
Go on and just be grateful try and understand
There's no facts, just second-guessing and earning your keep as a better man

You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that
I'm just who I am
You can't lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can't charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs, and that's a life of hell

There's blood in the water
There's death on my hands
Come and knock on my door
I'll label your demands
There's faith in a black heart
You can put it back together
Get all your shit straight
I'll meet you in the desert

You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that
I'm just who I am

You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that
I'm just who I am
You can't lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can't charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs, and that's a life of hell
