Samaritan Lyrics

Long Winters Samaritan

Please don't report me to the police
i wanted to help, but i can't stick around
do what you have to do
but remember, i helped you out
if and when you see me again, just pretend we never met
i just needed to do that for myself
just get away from here and maybe it will never come up
again
this is what they mean by standing in for the sane

i wouldn't normally, but my bread became hell
you said i'm in pain and
i knew nothing would change by your scream

just so you don't think everyone's the same way
tomorrow i probably won't remember i did a thing
you just need to make sure you're okay

i need to get the hell out of here
i'm sure the cops are on their way
please forget my face
please forget my face

this is what they mean by standing in for the sane
and i'll never bother anyone, again
hold my hand through this long walk
tell me i can when i balk, and go too far
these are men on either side with threatening hands
put my spinning head in a soft crown

going down a gray ladder with a dry glare every ten
feet and no hands
