Life by The Almost Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always thought I could get what I wanted
If I just pushed enough
Act as sad as I wanted and something free happens
From the outside in, it's a goldmine
It all turns to rot when you get inside
Chain up all the hope
'Cause shit is what it's worth

[Chorus]
You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that I'm just who I am
You can't lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can't charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs and that's a life of hell

[Verse 2]
Go on down to the water
And throw a line or two in
See if you can pull something out that'll stick to your skin
Go on and just be grateful
Try and understand
There's no facts, just second-guessing
And earning your keep as a better man
[Chorus]
You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that I'm just who I am
You can't lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can't charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs and that's a life of hell

[Bridge]
There's blood in the water
There's death on my hands
Come and knock on my door
I'll label your demands
There's faith in a black heart
You can put it back together
Get all your shit straight
I'll meet you in the desert

[Chorus]
You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that I'm just who I am
You can't change my mind about nothing
You can't see in my soul, it's too dark
I can't phone in the simple fact that I'm just who I am
You can't lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can't charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs and that's a life of hell
