Drop like get up Take to the streets On Iraq, yeah, get up Face full of teeth When it's hot, yeah, spit up Tasting the beat Like a beast (No idea what he's saying here..) Speak from your gut like a rush of blood Gave red on the face to the ones you love Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing
I shiver and shake through warm and cold and alone, On my own In every mistake I dig this hole through my skin And bones
It's harder starting over Than never to have changed
With blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave
I sweat through the sheet as daylight breaks As I waste away It traps me inside mistakes I made That's the price I pay
It's harder starting over Than never to have changed
With blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave
I drop to the floor like I did before Stop, watching I'm coughing, I can't be more What I want, what I need over constant war Like a well full of poison, a rotten core The blood goes thin, the fever stings And I shake from the hell that the habits bring Lay the sick ones down The bells will ring Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing
Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave
