Lyrics
*Any / similarity / to persons living or dead / is purely coincidental*
Unexpectedly alone during my hardest days
Keeping promises seemed to be just a phase
Now everyone knows that your new zip code tells the tale
I read all of the classics, I got the gist
Reluctantly my own protagonist
But sometimes late at night old visions come to my door
But this time I'll break every rule
And whether I win or lose
I'll never quit when the hits get hard
Oh! My! Soul! Oh!
I recall you were good in emergency
Cauterizing wounds with lit cigarette
But there's no one 'round these parts like that no more
While I tally all the damage incurred
No, you haven't misheard
I'll never quit when the hits get hard
Oh! My! Soul! Oh!
This time I'll break every rule
And whether I win or lose
I'll never quit when the hits get hard
Oh! My! Soul! Oh!
For once, I won't do my worst
And though it might seem perverse
Watch me go all in on the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And this time I'll break every rule
The hero was once the fool
And I'll never quit when the hits get hard
Oh! My! Soul! Oh!
