I made a promise

Verse 1

Cold ground

Iron in my mouth

Running from the south

Swore I would not let them pull me under

Never again

Never like then

Chorus

I made a promise

I made a promise

Locked it in a lead box

Buried in the mud

Deep in my blood

I made a promise

I made a promise

Verse 2

No more

Begging at the heavy door

Slipping on the kitchen floor

Bitter black coffee and a broken thumb

Fists tight

Keep it out of sight

Left the house at midnight

Walking til the bottoms of my feet went numb

Hard road

Heavy load

Fixed it

Chorus

I made a promise

I made a promise

Locked it in a lead box

Buried in the mud

Deep in my blood

I made a promise

I made a promise

Bridge

Cut the rope

Kill the hope

Burn the map

Break the trap

I told the mirror what I had to do

I told the shadow I was finally through

Clean slate

End of the wait

Starting now

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I made a promise

I made a promise

Locked it in a lead box

Buried in the mud

Deep in my blood

I made a promise

I made a promise

Outro

Kept it

Kept it

Finally kept it

Deep in the mud

Deep in the mud

Deep in the mud
