lyrics

I know I’m a boxer
But I think that i’m my own bag
The blood on my lips is the same as the blood on my hands

I know I’ve got a dusty soul
I know I’m too heavy for my bed
I know there’s something not right going on in my head

Another night of cigarettes again
Another dream that’s leaved out in my head
Another night of cigarettes again

I know I’m a boxer
But I think I’ve fallen one two many times
Stay there for days on the floor beneath this glove

I know I’ve got a heavy head
I know I’ve got a bitter heart
I know all of these grudges will tear me apart

I went to Ireland and died
I went to the east coast to live but it only made me cry

And now I’m headed back home
Tattooed with bruises on my face
And a broken nose

I know I’m a boxer with too much blood on my hands
I know I’m a boxer stay away from me if you can
I know I’m a boxer with too much blood on my hands
I know I’m a boxer stay away from me if you can
