Nicotine Hallelujah

1, 2, 3, 4
Shit, I left ‘em stranded, by now could be dead
I’m just a nail mocked by hammering heads
If I’m gonna bail then they’ll be free falling cause there ain’t no reason
To be spinning and hitting on gullible me
We’re running and begging to senseless machines
But if he’s got a smoke then it’s meant to be
Take it in, let it out before you proceed
Wipe ‘em clean, wipe ‘em clean
Oh nicotine hallelujah
It’s making me feel like I knew ya
It’s everything that I do to
Keep me sane
Nicotine hallelujah
It’s all that I can think to do to
I keep wondering if it will do
And keep me rolling
Well shit, I could be running in marathon races
Be singing and dancing in warm lit up places
Be meeting and kissing the beautiful faces
But I’m stuck here in bed ‘cause I’m lazy as fuck
And all of my family is out of luck
‘Cause their daughter ain’t making the family buck
She could be stupid or maybe just stuck
But I know my way out, just today’s not a great day
To move, and to do
All the steps to forget I’m a fool
So I’m so, I’m so screwed
Huffin and puffin, we’re all out of luck
Nicotine hallelujah
It’s making me feel like I knew ya
It’s everything that I do to
Keep me sane
Nicotine hallelujah
It’s all that I can think to do to
I keep wondering if it will do
And keep me rolling
But if it keeps me skinny and it keeps me strong
So life ain’t draining from my skin and bones
Or maybe delaying the need to move on
And keeping me around for the armageddon
Nicotine hallelujah
It’s making me feel like I knew ya
It’s everything that I do to
Keep me sane
Nicotine hallelujah
It’s all that I can think to do to
And I keep wondering if it will do
And keep me rolling

Something // Way
02:40
|
|

I see it, I want it, it’s in my reach
I know it, I got it, it’s up to me
I feel it, the motion, it’s going
But there’s something in the way
A bit of broken soul
Stepped on an open hole
And down I go
There’s something in the way
A bit of aching heart
Pierced by a poison dart
And down I go
God damn it, I had it, now where’s it gone?
I search, I call, but it won’t come
I stumbled, I fumbled, I killed the cat
Now I’m crawling back
But there’s something in the way
A wall of painted glass
I thought I’d make it past
Turned out with gashes on my face
There’s something in the way
It’s saying not you, not today
Don’t be crazy, you’re too fragile, too heavy, too lazy
Oh-wah-oh
Oh-wah-oh
Oh-wah-oh
Oh-wah-oh
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it
I knew it, I knew I couldn’t do it
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it
I knew it, I knew I couldn’t do it
But there’s something in the way
A bit of fighting fire
A vestige of desire
Oh shit, I can’t even give up right
No, not today
Still got a beating hope
Still got a pulse, I know
And I’ll run faster this time, here I go
I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it

Fear of the Dead
02:41
|
|

Slack jawed lacking ambition
This room is a void of confusion
Time was always an illusion
This we seem to forget
Fear, fear, fear of the dead
Fear, fear, fear of the dead
Idle prophets in caskets
Worms that are knocking at their doors
Hungry insects with headstrong prospects
Taking what you thought was yours
Fear of what was there before
Fear of what was there before
Fear, fear, fear of the dead
Fear, fear, fear of the dead
Fear, fear, fear of the dead

Moonshine
Brightest in my lifetime
Keep shining on me
And I’ll keep my eye to the sky
Moonshine
Lightening up that dark night
Don’t leave me alone
In this house
You’re my home
Lost and found
Sitting on the window sill
Gripping on that magic pill
This heaviness that keeps me still
Oh moon
Moon
Moon
Moon
Take me away
No I can’t
No longer
No longer stay
Unrequited
Unexplained
Unaccepted
Oh moon
Moon
Moon
Moon
Take me away
No I can’t
No longer
No longer stay
Unrequited
Unexplained
Unaccepted
Moonshine
Brightest in my lifetime
Keep shining on me
Keep shining on me
And I will owe you my life
And I will owe you my life
And I will owe you my life

4-7 Company

Take all my energy
Let it out of me
Let it breathe
Take off the pageantry
Hang it by the key
For the hours in between
And I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
As I thought I’d be
No one inviting me
No one fighting me
Only a silent divide
Can’t quite yet drift away
Got nowhere to be
Take my consciousness inside
And I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
As I thought I’d be
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I’m not as happy
Then come the shivers
Then come the ache
Then come the critters
Say I’m making a mistake
Then come the worry
Then come the fire
Then come the madness
And insatiable desire
And then I feel it
I nearly break
Until I see it’s finally quarter past 8
And I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
As I thought I’d be
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad
I think I’m happy
Woo
I think I’m happy, oh
Keeping my own 4-7 company
Keeping my own 4-7 company
