You'll Only End Up Joining Them(Live) (Live) - Kevin Devine

　　Tonight I'm posed and popping like a peacock

　　Pressing flesh smiling big spinning head sings

　　Stop just stop

　　Cause what used to calm me down

　　Just rips my life to ribbons now

　　So I keep smiling I find my window and quick cut out

　　These days my hangman's hunger makes my gut kick

　　My sleeping mind could map it blind

　　A flask a key a bag a fifth

　　I try to will myself away

　　While shouting habits plead their case

　　So when the sun sears through my eyes

　　My beggar's brain can't compromise

　　I splash cold water I draw the curtains I stay inside

　　And I can't say that it's a sickness more like a stranger I ask in

　　And later realize was a strangler

　　Slipping nooses in my den

　　But I was lonely so I asked him

　　Would you tie that one on me

　　It wasn't his fault I was eager and I was weak

　　So as I inch towards resolution

　　Yea I'm not sure which life feels right

　　A narrow noose or the wading water

　　The hanging head sore open eyes

　　My brother he went one way

　　And at the fork I heard him say

　　Don't you follow don't go making my mistakes

　　And I realized what he meant

　　Don't kill yourself to raise the dead

　　It never works you'll only end up joining them

　　It never works you'll only end up joining them
