I played prodigal for the story I came home and was proud of it I played cops and robbers And made sure that my side would always win Not for nothing, but my cards Were always face up on the draw Oh god I wish you could have seen it When I sang that awful song "So if I die, let me die With a shotgun by my side So everybody knows how hard I fought to live And let them write my name backwards On a banner over the square I want every last one to look at it" Then I would call myself out bleeding "Look at the devil that I've slain" Nobody left to paint my picture So I guess I've lost my game And I would make sure you could see me I would shiver while I prayed A little hair of the dog while I'm waiting for God Just to dig the tomb I crave So if I die, let me die Just go ahead and take my spine And I will blather on about how hard this is Let them tear my name to pieces I'm not worth what it's printed on If the best I can do is throw a fit So I suppose I could have been bitter At having lost the taste of joy And I could have dragged you down with me Like a selfish little boy But if my story's what's important I think a better one would be Me ending all this self indulgence Putting my clothes on and walking free So if I die, let me die With my friends all at my side No more dim-lit mirrors, no an end that I can see We will not drink to numb the soreness But to toast that we're alive And we will all forget what we pretend to be
