Take the edge off of the dark days Blunt doubts cruel knife blade Steal the sting out of the grave At that last shovelful of earth I swear i've never heard a louder curse Than before they put those digging those away Chorus: Let me go down easy...when the box gets shut Let me go down easy...into god knows what Well, you know i read the book and i heard the angels sing Heard a few sermons on the road from "a" to "b." You vanished into thin air swept out of this room All the good ones leave the party way too soon Now, i won't need the drink and i won't miss the pills But, if i could take your locket picture with me? Now, there's a cure for what ills So i'm heading for the neon with this girl who caught my eye And her smile means more at midnight though i could not tell you why
