The Reeds Mill Investigation Support Your Local Lyrics
1.41 Cent Agony

This is not goodbye,
we went through that last night.
This is a hello to a new forever
of never seeing you again.
I counted down the days until you went away
and now the hour-glass has taken over,
and when we meet again I will
bleed the truth behind the miles that keep
us apart all over again.
You wanna see how fast I can disappear?
You wanna see how easy this will be forgotten again?
Come on, alright, it's official,
put you on that train at Reeds Mill
and watch you vanish into thin air
with the smoke of a steam engine and a
double barrel shotgun, I forget what went wrong.
My dead men will rise again,
but I've lost all hope in us.


2.End Of The World

Let's get this over with,
I've been expecting this.
The blood is boiling tonight.
Now hold the gun steady,
you underestimate me.
The fear is trembling in your eyes.
And I've got a proposition:
will you come die with me tonight
if I hold on and spin the cylinder?
But if these white walls could speak,
they'd say paint me red with blood from his veins.'
it's that one last solid step.
I see it in your eyes
The taste will come and go,
this is the knife in your throat.
And oh! what a slaughter this will be.
You're on a path straight to your grave.
How stupid can you be pointing that gun at me?
Everyone makes mistakes, but you took the only thing
that I've ever loved. See now you got two options:
you can choose to put that gun down,
or pray your last words as I spill your blood.
So tell me how you want this to end,
this is your one last fighting chance.
I've got the fastest hand in the West,
and you ain't got the balls my friend.
I've bleed out the night in search of you.
You're on a path straight to your grave.
I'll fight anyone in this room.
This ain't a metaphor, this is me versus you.
Blood for blood, yeah you got me good,
but I'll carve even deeper.
You're on your last leg, this is your one last chance,
I'll carve even deeper.
This handgun is my ministry.


3.Burn Instead Of Beauty

You prayed for a man with grit
and a fast gun-hand to settle the score.
Oh! These times are terrible with bank robbers
and gun-fights, is it all that I'm cut out for?
Is it all that I'm still worth?
How could a man of the law and God
hang the one you loved?
Now it's a one-man job and I'm the hired gun.
Baby you've dug me a pretty shallow grave,
but I'm crawling in regardless.
Your beauty and elegance is irresistible,
but that's all part of the plan,
you're setting me up.
I have a lonely soul and my story's way too long,
so here I go, I have to pull that pistol again.
Is this really what you want?
Is this my last chance to end this charade?
And when the world and God turn their backs on you,
I will still be in love,
but this world has taken all the good in me away
because every time I turn around
another love of mine has let me down.
This has the end written all over it.
I've spent a fortnight hot on his trail,
now I got him in my sights,
you want him dead or alive?
You want him dead? Alright.


4.Never Play Cards With A Shark

The fallen leaves are my failure.
I wanted what I couldn't have,
but I took my place by her side,
and would those pageant lips be mine,
if only for tonight?
Even if it kills me as well as a bullet kills,
with this rope around my neck, it never seems to fail.
Give me the burial that I deserve,
I promise I'll never love again.
I've got everything worked out in my head:
I'll scrapbook these memories, lock them away forever.
In my head I know you're gone,
but in my heart you're still the one.
I saw your eyes change from green to grey,
and they'll never look at me the same.
And all I ask is that you never come back
unless you're gonna be mine.
I heard heaven in her voice,
her voice is all I need to sleep at night.
I saw glory in her eyes, the girl who stole the sky.
I heard heaven in her voice,
her voice is all I need to night.
The girl who stole the sky.
I won't say goodbye.


5.Manhunt

This is the beginning of your tragic ending,
if I could find the words I'd tear them from my throat.
I've fallen for this steel,
I'm starving for your last prayers.
Drop into the drywash and disappear.
Bring me names, I'll bring you blood.
From now on I'm a raging killer.
I'll be dancing on your grave.
Rest assured my friend,
dust is what you'll soon be made of.
It's cold in this canyon,
but if you're up here I will find you.
My blood will fight forever,
ride with me now or never,
I'll take anyone who can pull a trigger.
In the past I've never finished anything I started,
but I won't stop until God himself takes me away from this.
You're the definition of betrayal.
I have no life to live, no lover and no friend.
I have no heart to give, it's worth nothing in the end.
Nothing's stopping me, I'm not slowing down,
I'm riding harder now, nothing's holding me back.
