FOR ANYONE

words and music by Kasey Anderson

poison head pounding like a heavyweight fight
and i’m not feeling like myself tonight
but if that devil moon comes out and hits me right
i’ll be anyone

i cut a straight, black path through the home of the brave
dragging dried-up memories of stranger days
just to lie down next to you in a shallow grave
unmarked by anyone

chased your voice down to the river’s edge
where they wash believers and they raise the dead
and i built you an altar, and i bowed my head
and cried out for anyone

and in the shadow of a dream
i guess i lost my nerve
i was as wretched as it seems
believe everything you heard
i’d tell you all about it
but right now i don’t want to speak a word
to anyone

i’ve still got your name scrawled out across my back
i should have known you’d let me bleed like that
i’ll find a brand new disciple and when the room goes black
she’ll look like anyone

i’ve been drowning in this city of rain
you ripped right through me like a runaway train
and goddamn, i loved you
now i just wait around for anyone

and in the emptiness of morning
you were gone
i was bolted to the floor
you’d been moving all along
you left me twisted up and tired
with nothing but i song that i don’t wanna sing
for anyone
