[Verse 1]

Ground

I'll tell you a story

Of blood, guts, and glory

And all that was lost on the way

There was nothing to do

And nowhere to run

There was nothing that I could say

[Chorus]

Are the dust in my eyes enough

To tell me what to do?

And the bullet you left in my thigh

Well I'm giving it back to you

It wasn't always that easy

No, it wasn't always that slow

I just thought you'd like to know this time

I just thought you'd like to know

[Verse 2]

And did you tell your mother what you did to me that day?

Oh, when she asked you where you found success, did you simply turn away?

I'm coming for you now

And I'm coming for her too

And when you're in the ground

Well maybe I'll be done with you

[Pre-Chorus]

It wasn't always that easy

No, it wasn't always that slow

And when thе gun was cocked

And when the bullеt was set

Well there was nowhere left to go

[Chorus]

It wasn't always that easy

No, it wasn't always that slow

I just thought you'd like to know this time

I just thought you'd like to know

[Bridge]

And was I wrong?

Was it fated from the start

Or did I stand a chance at all?

Here I'll wait inside a bar for that proverbial hammer to fall

And he's coming for me now

Oh, he's coming for her too

And when we're in the ground

Well then we'll still have nothing left that we can do

That we can do, that we can do, oh

[Chorus]

Are the dust in my eyes enough

To tell me what to do?

And the bullet you left in my thigh

Well I'm giving it back to you

It wasn't always that easy

No, it wasn't always that slow

I just thought you'd like to know this time

I just thought you'd like to know
