lyrics

Music & Lyrics by William Chaffin

I saw a sign to break the times.
A world of zombies singing
"Look at what is mine!"
What is future when you fill the world with dimes?
A million hungry winos-just give me some more wine!

A break for all the banks, which open up your heart.
I took the skeleton key & then I took it all apart.
Ain't no repair-
Ain't no compare for what is art.

It's simple & it's hurts & it don't know if it is smart.

The urge to push you in-is an urge for all of us.
That beckons slowly & slowly comes to call upon your trust.
Ain't no angels that don't know just how cuss.
They fucking bless & they arrest you & say "Goddamn that wasn't us!"

Hold back. Hold back.
Breathe and you release.
I saw her chained to the past & the beast.
I'm walking west and all the rest are busy walking east.
Stuck reciting all these words just to get a little peace.

Inside your fingers there's a vein that carries blood.
You lick the simple while I'm busy sculpting mud.
The only way to stop your pain is with a flood.
I'm stuck forever & I'm stuck inside this rut.

Hold back. Hold back.
Breathe and you release.
I saw her chained to the past & the beast.
I'm walking west and all the rest are busy walking east.
Stuck reciting all these words just to get a little peace.
