Promised lyrics

Promise me my soul to keep
And promise me you'll never sleep
And promise me that when it's over
We will drink the whole world sober

Promise me that lines get drawn
Point no point to wish me well
Promise me there's no denying
And you will stop to wish me well

Oh promise me

Promise me it'll all get done
And a lion's share of good will last
Promise me you'll turn away first
And promise me you won't turn back

For all the years we kept on trying
It wasn't 'cause we were scared to quit
Promise me there'll be no pity
And promise me there'll be safer bets

Oh promise me
You won't make these promises

With calloused hands we forged this hammer
Broke these rocks into equal parts
Sent the sparks, flyin' off the handle
Asked for nothing, but delivered much
