Tonight I'm posed and popping like a peacock I'm pressing flesh, I'm smiling big, my spinning head sings "Stop, just stop" Cause what used to calm me down Just rips my life to ribbons now So I keep smiling, I find my window and quick cut out
These days my hangman's hunger makes my gut kick My sleeping mind, could map it blind A flask, a key, a bag, a fifth I try to will myself away While shouting habits plead their case So when the sun sears through my eyes My beggar's brain can't compromise I splash cold water, I draw the curtains, I stay inside
And I can't say that it's a sickness, more like a stranger I ask in And later realize, was a strangler Slipping nooses in my den But I was lonely so I asked him, "Would you tie that one on me?" It wasn't his fault, I was eager, and I was weak
So as I inch towards resolution Yea I'm not sure which life feels right A narrow noose or the wading water The hanging head, sore open eyes My brother Michael he went one way And at the fork I heard him say "Don't you follow, don't go making my mistakes" And I realized what he meant Don't kill yourself to raise the dead It never works you'll only end up joining themTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
