Years ago on a caravan, my cover was blown Now I roam confused, till my home is in the loam Where the black hawks hunt, where I lost my gun in a cavern of rust Never on my knees when I'm on my back Tell you where you could go, if I had the time And since I don't, I pine the walls Of piled up pills and bad advice And outstretched arms can't catch the sky Especially when meteors they blacken your eyes And I've been down most of them roads And left the bodies and forgot the codes Nothing is sacred, everything is for sacrament When nothing is left, pull out a camera and shoot yourself
Nothings gonna peel the pain, nothings gonna save your health This songs about nothing, cuz nothings gonna love you back And nothings gonna pay your rent, nothings waiting on you in the end Nothings gonna fix your life, nothings what you get when you're hungry Cuz nothing's gonna bring the hunt, ain't nothing gonna bring the hunt
They can't paint me, my skin is a stainless glass They can't save up the pennies to pay me back For the teeth I've lost, tried to out-eat a dragon For the life I've lived, tried to outrun the dragon in me Pay attention to your feet while you scuffle the landscape Disturb no flowers, step on no insects Forget your powers, they're useless here People use to care, now they worship garbage But these is recycled times we livin' in End of simple things, everything is everything now Hold a cross to my head, if I had a god Hold my cards to my deck, if I had a chest Favorite books are waterlogged, my eyes are heavy The lines get weightless, only in space when the world is wasted You'll know you're living a dream by the was that you chase it
They wanna know how I do it I wanna why I do it I got my reasons like I got my demons Although I play the devil he ain't got nothing on me But a couple of years, a couple of rocks Thought it was a puddle and got lost in a raindrop And I still ain't hit Earth yet Let me in I'm dry ice, trying to keep warm I'm in a pattern of ghosts and chains and wolves And you don't wanna see ballin', I mean crying, I mean, putting these thoughts into action We all suffer from a lack of talent, a lack of patience A lack of feedback when you're howling in the vacuum They say everyone's an expert after they go through it You must be a failure if you're still in it I say everyone's a failure after they go through it You're only a expert while you're still in it
