Gotta get away

lyrics

Drugs And Venom

Having light in such a dark mess
Should encourage a quest
Not pander loneliness

A record made to be broken
If it is so obvious
Then why the fuck should it be spoken

Why did you ever come down
Just so I could know
You are an evil fuck
If there was a chance
I could put you down
But I'll probably never get the luck
I am not so lucky
I am an obligation

Nothing mystic about
A misogynistic woman beater

I will change my name
But it won't change
My relation

Terror is a product
It's been rapped with rage
Burning sage is my misconduct
While gravity has wrapped you in age

Left me to sink
As the lake ices
Smothered everyone in guilt
To hide my vices
A government job
A mid-life crisis
Gotta get away
Being chased by ISIS

You can never stop
The fear of a bomb
That might not even drop
Similarities are there to ignore
A different kind of heat
But still a cold war

Immoral memorial of a mortal
Your personal effects are more eternal
Dying in a diary
Journey kept in a journal

The living room's stained
Gunpowder and bourbon
Settled in hate
You’ve called it suburban

What is being saved
But a one-sided perspective
Boarded in the cupboard
Hoarded in a collective

Speaking of death
The precedence should be bolder
Engraved above a grave
Is a president’s name on a marble boulder

Fuck the standard demonic praise
Of a rogue demi-god
That's using words to pander
It's time to put down the demagogue

Consumed by drugs and venom
We now know our enemy
Bed bugs in the denim
Be grateful they don't carry venom
He probably hates himself
Try being stuffed into the dresser
You think it's shameful on the shelf
You don't have an oppressor

Negate the income
By raising prices
The ones that made the pie chart
And divide us by slices
A mid-wife to
Your government crisis
Are the same white families
That colonized for spices
