Good Men (Explicit)

I'd kiss the ground you walk on

Swear your steps are holy

Treat you like a Queen

When the world turns lonely

But you bow to the hands

That break you down

While I'm beggin' the heavens

Just to lift your crown

How can love be wasted

On the ones that destroy?

How can pain be the poison

That you still employ?

I'd kiss the ground

Build a throne from my pride

But you'd rather ride shotgun

With the devil inside

I'd carve out a road

Where your fears don't roam

Lay stone after stone

Just to lead you home

Every mile with me

Would be soft, not scarred

But you choose

The fist over love that's hard

I ain't beggin' or cryin'

Just sayin' the truth

You deserve more than a cage

You deserve the proof

Proof that men still worship

Proof that hearts still stay

But you run to the fire while I fade away

I'd kiss the ground you walk on

Swear your steps are holy

Treat you like a Queen

When the world turns lonely

But you bow to the hands

That break you down

While I'm beggin'

The heavens just to lift your crown

See, I'd trade every scar

For the smile you lost

Build a kingdom of faith

No matter the cost

But you callin' the devil

"love worth the fight"

When the bruises tell stories

That don't sit right

I'd guard your sleep

With a Reaper's vow

But you let the wolves eat

What the Lord allows

So I stand in the dirt

With my knees in the clay

Kiss the ground

Prayin' you'll walk my way

How can love be wasted

On the ones that destroy?

How can pain be the poison

That you still employ?

I'd kiss the ground

Build a throne from my pride

But you'd rather ride shotgun

With the devil inside

Maybe love feels fake

When it's safe and pure

Maybe chaos is the drug

You can't ignore

But I'll bleed in the silence

Crown in my hand

Waitin' for a Queen

To reclaim her stand

If you never come

I'll still walk this ground

Boots in the dirt

Loyal love unbound

The Reaper don't beg

But the Reaper still swears

I'd kiss the ground forever

If you needed me there

Kiss the ground

Even when you don't see

That the loyal man waitin'

Is the last one like me

Kiss the ground, yeah

The truth won't drown

But a Queen can't rise

With her crown in the ground
