I'll Let You Down (But Will Not Give You Up)

(album: Exit Wounds - 2021)

Who's in charge of this wayward bus
Has everyone fallen asleep at once
The driver's not speaking and I'm not believing that he's
Even in front
Without any sound in a record-breaking rush
I'll let you down but I will not give you up
I'll let you down but I will not give you up

We're too stoned to notice there's no road left to be tucked
Down under the wheels that have long since abandoned us
Like riderless horses they're all returning back
To wherever they're from
It's impossible now that we'll be anything but crushed
I'll let you down but I will not give you up
I'll let you down but I will not give you up

The fuel line is leaking and the fumes are now too much
The rescue is leaving having not been brave enough
The guide book we're sharing has ended with saying
You'll do whatever you must
No sign of the ground or a deal left to be struck
I'll let you down but I will not give you up
I'll let you down but I will not give you up
I'll let you down but I will not give you up
I'll let you down but I will not give you up
I will not
I will not give you up
