The Long Winters - Samaritan lyrics

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 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 sounded in pain and I knew nothing would change by your scream

Just so you don't think everyone's the same way

Tomorrow I prob'ly won't remember I did a thing

You just need to make sure you're OK

I need to get the hell out of here

I'm sure the cops are on their way

Please forget my face

This is what they mean by “standing in for the sane”

They'll never bother anyone again

Hold my hand through this long walk

Tell me I can when I balk and go to fall

These are men on either side with threatening hands

Put my spinning head in a soft clamp

Going down a grey ladder

With a dry glare every ten feet

And no hands
