two days later
Two days later
he woke up strapped in a hospital bed
He woke up strapped in a hospital bed
next to another man who wanted to be dead
Next to another man who wanted to be dead
started writing his own eulogy
Started writing his own eulogy
ashamed of the kind of man he turned out to be
Ashamed of the kind of man he turned out to be
he had black blood
He had black blood
running up his veins as thick as grit
Running up his veins as thick as grit
mouth corner stains and stomach pains and
Mouth corner stains and stomach pains and
charcoal black spit
Charcoal black spit
he'd forgotten what was holy
He'd forgotten what was holy
he thought this was it
He thought this was it
long ago he had resigned to be a piece of shit
Long ago he had resigned to be a piece of shit
why you gotta keep on torturing me?
Why you gotta keep on torturing me?
jesus i admit it i'm a big fucking phony
Jesus I admit it I'm a big fucking phony
i locked myself up in prison and i threw away the key
I locked myself up in prison and I threw away the key
but i'm tired of being tortured lord i just wanna be free
But I'm tired of being tortured lord I just wanna be free
he had a certain respect for the earth
He had a certain respect for the earth
like probably nobody should
Like probably nobody should
probably because he grew up in a pretty old
Probably because he grew up in a pretty old
house beside the woods
House beside the woods
where his little sister would always be his best friend
Where his little sister would always be his best friend
but even she would be betrayed by him before the end
But even she would be betrayed by him before the end
he is survived by four pretty sisters
He is survived by four pretty sisters
and a mom and a dad
And a mom and a dad
and what was left of the love of the woman he once had
And what was left of the love of the woman he once had
his last words when reminded what his legacy would be
His last words when reminded what his legacy would be
he said i'm not worth remembering just forget about me
He said I'm not worth remembering just forget about me
why you gotta keep on torturing us?
Why you gotta keep on torturing us?
haven't i paid enough for all the drugs that i've done?
Haven't I paid enough for all the drugs that I've done?
my poor mother's praying that you take back her only son
My poor mother's praying that you take back her only son
why you gotta keep on torturing yourself?
Why you gotta keep on torturing yourself?
you are directly responsible for your own poor mental health
You are directly responsible for your own poor mental health
i locked myself up in prison and i threw away the key
I locked myself up in prison and I threw away the key
but i'm tired of being tortured lord i just wanna be free.
But I'm tired of being tortured lord I just wanna be free
