biz barclay - dead man's daughter lyrics

[verse 1]
you know they used to say i walk on water
pretty good for a drunk man’s daughter
“now she’s in the bar with the backyard sailors”
everybody gets what they oughtta
and she’s dressing like a b+tch for the slaughter
fighting with the bard over all her failures

[pre+chorus]
when i was ten my pastor said
“all of your sins are forgiven”
don’t tell him i’m here making deals
with any devil that’ll listen

[chorus]
i wish i’d never met me
i need a pistol, a prayer, and a magic bullet
put her hands in my hair
god, i wish she’d pull it
it’s a shot in the dark
‘til i turn on a light
check, turns out i’ve been
shooting blanks the wholе time
the whole timе

[verse 2]
they said i should’ve learned to beg not barter
that’s a lotta talk for a dead man’s daughter
never held a candle to the old mans liquor
tried to build a life on a faultline
sing the wrong note at the right time
i know how to swim but the bloodline’s thicker
[pre+chorus]
when i was ten my mother said
“your wanting feels like screaming”
there’s no brass ring to wash the stink
of former overachieving

[chorus]
i wish i’d never met me
i need a pistol, a prayer, and a magic bullet
got to hand me the gun
b+tch, you wish i’d pull it
it’s a shot in the dark
‘til i turn on a light
and it turns out i’ve been
shooting blanks the whole time

[bridge]
there’s monsters in my closet
pick out outfits for my coffin
guess it’s only fair
at least there’d be an honest
so i ran straight back to a city
that i swear once tried to k!ll me
god, a fresh start
funny name for a death wish
and you know it makes me nauseous
that i’ll never sing this song
in front of thousands
oh, i’m a handful and a half
i’ll cross my fingers at my back
and i can’t promise that i even
know what love is
[outro]
i wish i’d never met me
i wish i’d never met me
