Josephine Lyrics

The ice goes quickly in the glass

Whiskey melts it away so fast

Hopin' it'll help her melt away the pain

Of her scarred and tattooed past

She thinks of things, that could have been

Without the weight of all her sin

Addiction has a hold on her life

Stolen her youth, like a thief in the night

Josephine

Dreams of a day

Her pain is washed away

All the misery she's left in her wake

Rid herself of the torment

Of an uninvited friend

She dreams of innocence

She longs to feel that way again

The storms keep rollin' through her mind

Til the rain starts pourin' from her eyes

She feels it in her bones, it runs up her spine

Pleads to God for some peace of mind

On her knees, beggin' for her life

Praying that He hears her cries

Addiction has ate at her soul, but

She's clawing her way outta' that hole

Josephine

Dreams of a day

Her pain is washed away

All the misery she's left in her wake

Rid herself of the torment

Of an uninvited friend

She dreams of innocence

She longs to feel that way again

Yesterday, her demons were finally slayed

She buried them at the bottom of a deep and lonely grave

The headstone read, my past mistakes

Josephine raised her head and walked away
