Your god may rest But mine never does He’s up snortin meth n drinkin wine just because If the money doesn’t come we’ll feel the beat of his drum Started out with a feast now we’re scrapin for crumbs Hook: Till our lords or our livers take us burn through dawn and right into dusk Till our lords or our livers take us hanging on because we must V2 Starin into this pale Of hot burning coals This towns gone stale Chasing far fetched goals Only Finding our tales After such a mess No wind in our sails Just fumes and stress V3 Nothing changes as far as we can see So quit with your thinking and have a drink on me We knew from the start just how this would end Another broken heart buryin another dead end friend

There's teeth in the street glitter in the gutter The stores are all closed Street is full of shutters But we just walk by Same old clutter Same old sour stomaches Dig a hole to fill another romanticize it all u can But this ain't what it was A Fire needs a fan They're cages await us Toothless Pitbull Grown too fat too old Toothless pitbull gone and Lost your soul This town wants you dead And The city does too All the blood that u shed What does it add up to Rack ur body and head Purple black n blue Lyin in ur broken bed Sleepless without a clue The skills that u got ain't worth decent pay But hey it's your lot That's all that they say Suffering for ur shot Makes no difference anyway Just more what you have not No Golden bones from this decay

Big Leech 04:43
Big leech little parasite Would u step into the light U Drain me Down w each bite Then Disappear out of sight Big leech little parasite What can be won from this fight Ingest my red infect the white I'm hangin on w all my might The biggest mouth to feed With the least amount of dough Take more than u need Curse us all and then go Big leech little parasite Bringing on my longest night U bled me dry then took flight Left me alone in plight You’ve taken more than I can give Left me struggling to live Twisted in me like a shiv Too much time to forgive The biggest mouth to feed With the least amount of dough Take more than u need Curse us all and then go Big Leech Big Leech would you leech off someone else Big Leech Big Leech would you leech off someone else Big Leech Big Leech damn near bled me dry Big Leech Big Leech what'll you do when I die

I'm just lookin for some peace and quiet Been lying next to an internal riot Her eyes are glazing over slow Inhaling and letting the smoke blow Wondering what she expects Unsure of what to do next Knowing this will end in a mess But I’m going with my best guess Please oh please would ya Curbstomp my enthusiasm A bit more a bit more Verse2 Shaken awake nightmares in my head This war's been raging all around my bed To Leave these sheets I don't dare Bullets cutting through the air Smoke clears and I can see The body count of each army Their shadows thrown across my floor I'm not going to get up anymore Please oh please would ya Curbstomp my enthusiasm A bit more a bit more Verse3 Sideswiped backing outta the room Trying to escape this feeling of doom Now she’s gone and I am too Realized there’s nothing you can do Running on an empty tank Sunrise while some hearts sank Wonder how much more I can take Gotta get out for my own sake

My Loved One 04:31

Gotta cane field outside my door But I'm inside stuck to the floor With a mouth full of salt It's probably all my fault Got dark clouds hangin overhead My sunny days are stormy instead I got cleats made of concrete keepin me from gettin to my feet Living like a leper steady falling apart You blame my liver I blame my heart Take ur heart off the wall And take it with you There's nothing here left at all That we can undo Waiting for the ceiling to fall All the nightmares came true Never email text or call and I don't plan to My eyelids weigh a ton Closed tight to the sun There's a voice inside my head It's saying I might be better off Fresh ghosts for this town Missing you has got me down Kill the quiet with any sound Waiting for my heart to pound

I woke up this morning kissing ur ghost I’m wondering what's the cost What's been gained what's been lost Since I woke up this mornin kissing ur ghost woke up with a pocket full of stones Gotta fix these fiends rock em out they bones Since I woke up with a pocket full of stones I woke up this Mornin ran outta town I know what I did I can't live down Shouldn't be hangin around I woke up this Mornin found myself lost Feelin like garbage once its tossed It's too late the lines been crossed cause ...

Well this storms gone Knocked me off my course I’m wondering whats worse? To stay gone or to return to A never ending curse Feeling like I’m drowning And I just can’t breathe Oh Holy Night Oh saviors might Are you listening? In this starless night I’m Losing the fight beneath this churning sea I call out your name First and last the same Guess it’s me vs me Any spark to illuminate the dark Can’t keep struggling Deadwinds and cold hearts With loose ends and false starts I came so close to giving up the ghost Can’t brag or boast when I wash up on the coast
