Lyrics

i ain't gonna pull down my mask
to take a shot from a stanger's flask
you can lace it so the pleasure lasts
might as well chase it with a shot gun blast

they die quick in the city i abandoned
heal up, hide out in the canyon
ain't gonna put trust in the man
spendin my money on another fake tan

it's your love i'm breathin
wish i was up 'n leavin
i was damned when i made your list
cut down by the devil's kiss

but your love keeps callin
like the rest i'm fallin
can't run, i cannot resist
cut down by the devil's kiss

i don't forget, i am not a forgiver
where was the plan while you were watchin us shiver
it's a bad hand and i won't be delivered
by the man who says "son double down on the river"

you know it's bad when the lungs get thick
tears down the tenements brick by brick
i'd rather drive with the drunk ditch digger
with his foot on the gas and his hand on the trigger

it's your love i'm breathin
wish i was up 'n leavin
i was damned when i made your list
cut down by the devil's kiss

but your love keeps callin
like the rest i'm fallin
can't run, i cannot resist
cut down by the devil's kiss

and the candle burns low like a dancer
and the profiteer vandals lurk like a cancer
it's a scandal beyond belief, to see what the devil sees...

people either preach loud like a scholar
or hold signs, fists up like a brawler
i know better than to listen to the caller
standin on a box just to call himself taller

the party's over when you get the bill
look down on the floor at the blood you spilled
bendin the truth in a real time thriller
watchin the news, just to face my killer

it's your love i'm breathin
wish i was up 'n leavin
i was damned when i made your list
cut down by the devil's kiss

but your love keeps callin
like the rest i'm fallin
can't run, i cannot resist
cut down by the devil's kiss

i ain't gonna pull down my mask
to take a shot from a stanger's flask
you can lace it so the pleasure lasts
might as well chase it with a shot gun blast
