I attempted to name you when

I’ll pull my tooth by way of heaven and hell
Simply basking within the blue gentle,
don’t forsake me tonight
You say you needed a fighter, (liar)
Placing out fires (I’m drained)
You’d be ashamed when you noticed me now
Keep on the road, determine it out

Gave myself the inexperienced gentle,
