Can't live a lie

Think you have me here I’m all grown up but still trapped in your fear Gave me a rattle and the words came thru Now I only cue
Can’t live my life With you on my back Can’t live my life With all this crap Can’t live my life With your fat ass Can’t live a lie Where are my balls
To stand up to you Your howling moans & Conjured tools All these selfish reasons I’m sick of retreating

Patch up my problem
Patch up all of my pain
No virus no disease
no evidence of shame
You stick me you prick me you love to see me again
You pay the bill when I'm oill
I don't think I'm dead
Come on Doctor please
Give me some love give me some drugs
Prescribe the shit to keep life's edge off
Can't legally get all that sutff myself
Your my dealer my shiield I only want your help
Zolfot Ridilin Lithuim is all I need
Syringes that mke my cringe
the viles that are my creed
Come on Doctor please
Give me some love give me some drugs
Prescribe the shit to keep life's edge off
Come on Doctor please
Give me some love give me some drugs
Pills for paranoia
Anything that;s a rush
Give me what I need
prescribe it all to me
Give me what I need
prescribe it all to me

On your own
05:21
|
|||
|
I tried so hard to show you this world To no avail you wept In despair you left
He won't tempt you no more Promised that you'd be pure Never gave it time to work This rain falls down no more You’re on your own You’re little box you in This flight will take you to the heavens In & around the clouds Your hanging somewhere so far You’re on your own The lord will reap your soul He won't bestow Any promise to let you go I say farewell to my gold You’re on your own

First time around
02:39
|

|
Stab me with your stare Do you what you need to do Capture me with your long blonde hair Long as you go back to my room Drink a little wine make sure were high enough Make this feel good and tight The first time around Silhouette sheets You lipstick lush We don’t have to play these games Cause we’re at the brink of lust Peel of all your clothes And I’ll follow suit Lick you up and down While I make my move Drink a little wine make sure were high enough Make this feel good and tight The first time around We’ll drink a little wine make sure were both High enough Make this feel good & tight The first time around

Gift you gave me

Saved a piece of your hair Deep down wish you’d still care About me on repair Relationships are not fair I was too young And a fool I ‘m glad I’m done With you I won’t regret I won’t forget This gift you gave me Now I’m looking back So glad you left Was the best thing that happened to me My first one Supposed to be special and then some Never happened to me Glad you gave up on me We were too young Not that I realized Caught up in my own emotions Led to my demise I won’t regret I won’t forget This gift you gave me Now I’m looking back So glad you left
Was the best thing that happened to me

Diamond in the rough
03:04

Mom & Dad don’t know If they did it would wreck them That their little angel’s a thief Doing cocaine & speed I used to be a diamond in the rough Now I’m stenciled out of shit I’m handcuffed Who do I blame I only blame me Can’t remember a time A meal stared me in the eyes Miles of asphalt to breathe I’m only running from me I used to be a diamond in the rough Now I only seem to fuck things up Who do I blame I only blame me Can’t stop this pain Voids & voids I display
Don’t even know where I belong I used to be a diamond in the rough Now I’m stenciled out of shit, I’m handcuffed I used to be a diamond

Old woman lyin in her bed Wonderin what’s going thru her head Haven’t seen me in 20 years The look of fear appears Incredulous stares ponderous eyes Beam right back at me in despise Am I here to collect some debt or Am I hear for inheritance I look in glee You never bothered with me I laugh in pity You never bothered with me The count goes on Graduation weddings have come and gone Invited to all but she’s never seen I’m not good with people Excuses no longer ring I look in glee You never bothered with me I laugh in pity You never bothered with me I’m just here as your dutiful reminder What good memories Are you takin down under Maybe the problem Was with my brother Maybe my sister or me In her eyes my mother All good people but it’s a shame Granny didn’t feel that way She stayed in her house she stayed away Calling for the Doctor to bring Now you lie there pissed at somethin You never bother with me

Wake up in the morning With my eyes still closed Roll outta bed Wearin no clothes Will I keep the door closed Will I decide to let you in Or will I close the door On our relationship again Will I keep the door closed Will I keep the door closed? I never trusted you Wake up from a dream I pretended not to know you Lyin in my cortex The visions I refuse Think I’ve decided to curse you out My speech still studderin my hands tremor about Never trusted my instincts Never trusted you being with me Wish I would let you in Wish I would Never trusted me Never trusted you

Killin just a name
03:22
|
|||
|
Can’t purge these thoughts Can’t let me decide my fate Offered a gun to solve This crisis I face Is murder the way Years and years it’s paved A society of graves Killing just a name He wronged my family Sought out his name Do I appease my instincts And Hold a gun to his face Is murder the way Years and years it’s paved Society of graves Killing just a name Murder’s a choice I don’t wanna make

They're coming

They're coing
They're here
In cornfields they rear theri ugly heads
Large dark eyes
in hopes to inflict fear
They're coming
They're here
They're coming
They're here
Around the house the footsteps grow
Underneath the wind underneath the shadows
The house is boarded but they'll find a way in
I got to repent to God
Revolver listening
They're coming
They're here
They're coming
They're here
Strange glow in the sky
I can hesr mysef cry
I cna hesr myself cry
I can feel myself slowly die
Green and blue skin
wierd lights and eyes
So this is what' it's like to die
So this is what' it's like to die
They're coming
They're here
They're coming
They're here

On the Edge
03:14
|

|
My pager’s going off
And I begin to cough
At the doctor’s office
It’s a sin
My health is on a whim
And that’s no exaggeration
Stress, duress, and emptiness
Gone is my wife’s irratating stares
Cigarettes and a bottle of beck’s
Is keeping me from the edge
So I haven’t grown up yet
When I was expected to
Runnin ‘round with my doubt
I am a 4:00 in the morning fool
Stress, duress, and emptiness
Gone is my wife’s irritating stares
Cigarettes and a bottle of beck’s
Is keeping me from the edge
Wastin, wastin time
In a bar where I have the
Ceiling memorized…
And the beer never stops
Being poured
Into a glass
The glass I adore
Stress, duress, and emptiness
Gone is my wife’s irritating stares
Cigarettes and a bottle of beck’s
Is keeping me from the edge
