lyrics

Give another round to the out of towner
Whiskey sours on fifty hours of no sleep
Beat the streets with long walks on short leashes
With a heart full of leeches and an arm length from Jesus
The devils, and demons, and Jacob
This garden’s for aphids and their martyr like patience
While it wears thin and shapeshifts
To destroy my old statements
When life is a basement and time is a vagrant
I’m six feet complacent and leaving it waiting
See, I’m in my head more than I’m outside
Feeling I might capsize on my down time and drown
In my drinks
So the owl does not sleep, the dreams they do fade
A pitch black parade while the world is on fire
And i ain’t inspired, no I ain’t inspired
There’s always skulls in the dollar signs of a fucking liar
When they take the hearts and shape their empires
But that’s how it goes
And i guess I’m jaded to it

The devils, and demons, and Jacob

Watching numbers became cathartic when art didn’t
This shit’s all make believe but that don’t make it any different
These pins and needles demons and see through peoples
Feeling like the world’s evil when it ain’t really though
Just empty souls spill their feelings easier ya’ know
I don’t live by a code but I do have my passwords
We waltz to the patchwork and spin it all backwards
So the threads are all bare while the heart’s on our sleeve
No blankets, no covers, no white out
Fight it out and wear bruises like bullet wounds
Bending spoons ain’t no new news but it’s all what they’re used to
It’s sugar for the medicine
Shoot the messages like messengers with bad news
Move the messenger to give messages on ouija boards
Speak swords and cut throats like you meant to
But the ink is still poison so it comes back to get you

And I guess that’s the same
And i guess I’m jaded
