Lyrics

Come Now, My Enemy I laid down my burden like a blood covered sword Drawn from the sheath, and used to wage war To those who spoke reason I still showed my teeth Then cracked them on pearls that were cast at my feet Her father drowns memories in Sunday church wine I wear dark sunglasses to hide weary eyes Her mother dons fake smiles framed lipstick red I'm young enough still to forgive before death Chorus: So come now, my enemy, I'll do you no harm In peace we'll break bread when we lay down our arms Provide me with heartache that forced me to grow Provide me with scars 'til I'm old And I'll provide peace for your soul Promises and prayers, whiskey, wine, 60 dollar bills Card homes fall apart, sleep forever with pills It takes desperation to touch barrel to teeth But if I don't pull the trigger, am I strong or am I weak? They tore up my history for confetti to throw down On a funeral procession, and an indifferent crowd But I called off my burial while I was en route Why waste a good coffin on a reason like you?
