Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bet I'll be damned
Built the debt, I turned twos up today
Bet I'll be damned
Gets harder to sense the sail
[Verse 2]
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
[Verse 3]
Weighted my hand
Kill the bet, I'll burn on judgment day
Weighted my hand
Get hard hit to sense the sail
[Verse 4]
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Double deal a season
Wrapt, too lax to lapse so soon
Reckon luck sees us the same
[Verse 5]
Bed on my back
Dealt my hell, I've dealt my months of May
Bed on my back
Get parted ascension day
[Verse 6]
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
Reckon love deals us the same
