quick!
get in the carriage
cuz this house is not a home
would have much preferred a helping hand
than a double tap
to the dome
help!
i feel disparaged
this body no longer seems my own
left stranded in a desert
hoping for a quick death
while im all alone
look!
it's an oasis
as i approach it turns to crumbled stone
the pool of water that reflected sun
becomes nothing more
than a vast unknown
lost!
without awareness
ghosts appear when im on my own
floating through a town of hollowed faces
where mirrors splinter
like broken bone
i need some horsepower
lord knows i need it
just take me to a head doctor
before my blood starts bleeding
sick shooter!
quick looter.
holes left in my vacant chest
fill an empty heart
made by a broken home.
straight shooter!
hate tutor.
i brought a knife to a *fucking* gunfight
to cut you apart
so youd leave me alone
we need more horsepower
lord knows i need it
just get me to a hospital
before my heart stops beating
i cant go on
i cant turn back
this hate is hellfire
in my saddle bag
im awake at night
i cant rest for days
while i can hear that pig
sleeping three rooms away
ohhhh
no
get out
right now
QUICK to turn
my head around my shoulder
deferring HELP
every time im asked
i LOOK thoughtful
and i act much older
but ive LOST a nature
that i cant get back
SICK to my stomach
at the thought of living in my home
id LOVE to run away
and ne-ver come back
STRAIGHT to the knife
where i find my solace
i HATE that its sharp edge
is what i lack
just get me the gunpowder
before my hate stops seething
get (get)
out (out)
right (right)
now (now)
