The first time that I heard you sing my sanity was breaking Lost in Austin Texas the entire world was ending From three blocks away you caught my attention I was plagued by inflection I asked which way you was headin Now we're staying up late Huffing paint On top of vodka percocet and dirty sex We lit a match and burned the past until There was nothing fucking left The second time we fucked we were both blacked out in Vegas Almost hitched up by an Elvis but they said we'd have to pay Throwing up everything I didn't think I'd make it You held me while I was shaking And woke up a state away Now we're staying up late Huffing paint On top of vodka percocet and dirty sex We lit a match and burned the past until There was nothing fucking left The last time that we fought it must of been about some stupid shit I drink to much, your shirt was ripped It's easy to forget Now it feels like that I'm back exactly where I started Lost and forgotten What happened to those days what happened to those days We use to stay up late Huffing paint On top of vodka percocet and dirty sex We lit a match and burned the past until There was nothing fucking left

Back on the street like I'm use to Music don't pay like it use to Faded fucked up to amuse you Forgetting the words to my own tunes And the days drag on Buildings get taller and black out the sun And ignore the bums That live off the pieces goddamn y'all need Jesus Back on the street when its just me Wake up to bottles all empty Follow the road it's a dead end Think by now I'd learn my lesson And the days drag on Compounding our problems no fear of the sum You say I've come To cheat beg and steal and to shit on your Happy Meal Back on the street like I'm use to Music don't pay like it use to Faded fucked up to amuse you Forgetting the words to my own tunes And the days drag on Buildings get taller and black out the sun And ignore the bums That live off the pieces goddamn y'all need Jesus Back on the streets like I'm use to Music don't pay like it use to

Where do ya go when the booze is all gone Can't smoke your self number your feeling to strong Oh Lord Am I a slave to the liquor store Night after night it's a constant fucking memory My better half is the drunker darker side of me Oh God At least that's what I've been told So I form bad habits to combat the static Now those habits tearin ya apart like somethin savage Pukin shakin please like ya gots to have it I don't even care if it's glass or plastic That's how ya know your life's been misconstrued When you find yourself waking up with the DT blues Why can't ya sit back relax and enjoy your self And slowly sip your beer and be like everybody else Slow down Don't ya dare tell me things like that Can't sleep a wink well my friend we ain't got enough We either drink it all tonight or save it for waking up Run low Lets see how long this sip could last So I form bad habits to combat the static Now those habits tearin ya apart like somethin savage Pukin shakin please like ya gots to have it I don't even care if it's glass or plastic That's how ya know your life's been misconstrued When you find yourself waking up with the DT blues Having no fun drinking all alone Singing in the streets about Mexico Ya know That's how ya turn a smile upside down Hey there darlin you're the bane of my existence One more round then I wish that I could quit this Then I Would smash you on the ground So I form bad habits to combat the static Now those habits tearin ya apart like somethin savage Pukin shakin please like ya gots to have it I don't even care if it's glass or plastic That's how ya know your life's been misconstrued When you find yourself waking up with the DT blues

How do I begin to describe The horrors I survived How do I begin to atone For the wickedness inside my bones I've been baptized in holy water Been saved by Heavenly Father Rehearsed the verses adverted curses Still seemed damned why even bother So take the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ And shove it down your throat As if it would absolve your sins over night And reimburse all your hope Spread the word to every nation God himself promotes segregation Your battles up to our lords discretion Enforce his love with global oppression Draw the shade and lock the doors When you give in to sins allure Body begs for masturbation Must pretend to ignore temptation So take the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ And shove it down your throat As if it would absolve your sins over night And reimburse all your hope Heaven and hell is the perfect scam Right up there next to Uncle Sam You can dedicate you life to the words of dead men Perpetuate the fears that we're all condemned Your imposed definitions of wrong and right Has left me with a very sinful appetite If I'd been chosen for the garden of Eden I'd be the first to take a bite Your wickedness is reconciled By corrupting the minds of every child Hellish tales of eternal suffering Keep them killing for God and Country So tie a mill stone around your neck And jump right off a bridge Plummet to the water Cuz your sons and your daughters Deserve a better world than this A better world than this

You've been failing me just like my liver Gut wrenching pains and hands that quiver Hoping it's all better by tomorrow morning You're as empty as the bottle in my hand That's why I don't think you'll ever understand That it's hard to connect when your brains just like a wet cigarette So before I drink you right out of my life I hope you take time and realize why I stay awake sippin through the entire night And how it's impossible to smile now Unless I can keep a bottle of vodka down Right in time to see ya skippin town Right in time to miss you when I'm down Up on the highline we had so much fun You me and a bottle of Kettle One Making our way back to the land of the setting sun Now I gotta get drunk before my day begins Before you start bitchin about my friends And everything else in between the beginning and the end So before I drink you right out of my life Lets get drunk for one more night and Maybe I'd wake up a little sober Or maybe I'd wake up behind a strangers home Drinking through the morning shakes all alone Wondering how far have I wondered Should I retrace my last steps or just push onward Trudging through the trenches of the wrecked we've wrought Has sure got me sweatin an awful lot Weighed down by all our fears for so long I'll finally screw the cap back on When the last drop of liquor touches my tongue You'll be the one to hammer the nails in my coffin down So before I drink you right out of my life Splash a little whisky on my grave sight and Bury me 40 ounces deep So I can drink my way through hell With a hardened heart A Demon scowl Hoping that your fate remains the same When you're cursed with a thirst that never goes away As the sun starts to set I stare up and release regret Of the four years I squandered Out over yonder Now I know this life is the best So lets get drunk and fall in love Right as our lives break down We'll pick up the pieces All meagre and sheepish Fuck the shady bastards in this town So help me fill my pipe and I'll Help you find a light Yeah we'll smoke and we'll drink I'll trust what you think And I'll never put you down When you pick me off the ground When I pass out half way through this goddamn night Oh yeah ya know I'll pass out Half way through this goddamn night I'll pass out halfway through this goddamn night And as the clouds pass Think bout you sittin in class And the Six years I wasted Before you I was naked Now I know love you got my back So lets get drunk and fall in love Right as our lives break down We'll pick up the pieces All meagre and sheepish Fuck the shady bastards in this town So help me fill my pipe and I'll Help you find a light Yeah we'll smoke and we'll drink I'll trust what you think And I'll never put you down When you pick me off the ground When I pass out half way through this goddamn night
