The Fight
02:31

I wanna be your drug
I wanna get you high
I wanna make love
The entire night
But to turn on the light
That is the fight
I wanna bow down
You could be my church
You can wear a crown
Cover me with dirt
But to turn on the light
That is the fight
Cut me with a knife
Break me with your eyes
But do it right
Don't go telling me lies
To turn on the light
That is the fight

I'm gonna burn one with my friend
Drink a couple shots of whiskey start over again
Im gonna go where I came from
Gonna play the guitar as I sing and hum
Well they all warned me, they all warned me
I'm gonna pack it up and head out west
Forget about the muscle that's inside my chest
I'm gonna leave this town and never come back
Gonna take a trip down the wrong side of the tracks
Cause they all told me they all told me
That woman will destroy you
You'll always end up looking like a fool
That woman will destroy you
You know she likes it too
She's got a habit of being cruel
But nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters to you
I've spent the last five years face down on the ground
With no one to hold onto
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
That woman will destroy you
You spent you're whole fucking life just trying to be cool
That woman will destroy you
You know she likes it too
She's a habit of being cruel

Sugarplum

I go to the bar spend my hard earned pay
Try to forget yesterday
I make eyes with some trash
It’s all I can do babe I got no cash
All I got tonight is you
I wake up feeling dumb
I smell some rotten sugarplum
Takes a minute to regain my wits
I piece it together bit by bit
What I got this morning is you
I never will get the best of the best it’s true
Looks like I’m stuck with you
I go home sick again
Sit on the couch and try to mend
This broken gut, this foolish heart
Babe I am falling apart
What I lost tonight is you

The Emperor
03:23

We fight
With the emperor
We live, we die
We shed our blood
With the emperor
Glory fades with time
And we’re on our knees
We eat
With the emperor
We mourn the dead
We dine
With the emperor
We bow our heads
And we’re on our knees

Elvis

When I was young I drove down to Memphis
And I saw Elvis where he lay
In a grave by the garden six feet under
Even if you’re a king everybody decays
When I was twenty I married my first love
A waitress at a diner her name was Suzanne
She had a soft heart but carried a heavy mind
She left on a dime and moved to Tulsa
Suzanne
Now I’m an old man maybe a sad man
I get up early and I go to bed late
Sometimes with friends most times alone
If I were to fall I would break all my bones
Suzanne
When I was young I drove to Memphis
And I saw Elvis where he lay
In a grave by the garden six feet under
Even if you’re a king everyone decays

When The High Wears Off
02:23

When the high wears off
And you’re all alone
There’s no one who will be there
No one to call home
And when you’re coming down
And you hit the ground
Everybody left the party
There’s no one around
So you’re laying down
And you’re feeling sick
And ya drown the morning
but you drink it too quick
So you’re blinded by
The morning light
And the devil shines down
and burns your eyes
God says he loves everyone
But he’s a liar
Because after you die
He’ll throw you in the fire
Cause when you sober up
It’s like you’re ready to die
And God can’t keep up
No matter how he tries
Cause when the high where’s off
And you’re all alone
There’s no one to be there
No one to call home

Carissa

|
Sometimes I hurt, and I feel low
I felt alone
I’d sit at home, and abuse my nose
Get real stoned
I used to think, it was all for not
That’s what I thought
But when I feel your hands, upon my face
I believe in God
Now I feel brand new
Now I feel brand new
I’m reborn

The Fire Is Gone

Kayla how loyal you've been to me
You've given everything to make me happy
I don't want to you to cry keep your head up high
With every day there's night it'll be alright
the fire is gone
And i don't have a light
The fire is gone
I know that you feel everything hurt
I've been there baby it only gets worse
I know that when it rains it pours
But I don't love you anymore
The fire is gone
And I don't have a light
The fire is gone

Genocide and suicide
I’ve seen it all before
Men who fight men who die
Endless war
Fighting to the point
Where we forget what we’re fighting for
In the name of the father
Our holy lord
But everything is beautiful when you’re blind
Piles of trash piles of cash
And a figurehead
who can’t quite keep up
With what he said
Give it fifty years
We’re all going to wind up dead
Says the man they take out back
And kick in the head
But everything is beautiful when you’re blind

Deathwish
03:23
|
|||
|
I got a head full of drugs
And a little bag of dope
Some call me crazy but I say no
Look over my shoulder
There’s a hellhound on my trail
What’ll get me first
Death or jail
I got a deathwish
