🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

Took to the ocean, in a boat this time
Only an idiot would swim through the shit I write
How can I talk of light and warmth?
I've got a voice like a gutter in a toxic storm
All the dark words pouring from my throat
Sound like an oil slick coating the wings we've grown
 
I'm the dead man in this war
But, baby, I've been here before
There's beauty hidden in the gore
Yeah, I'm the dead man in this war, ooh

Do you remember September?
Do you remember September?

You threw me back into the fire
I screamed while your smile was gettin' wider, oh-oh
Demons and angels in my choir, mm
Singin' about what I desire
 
Put whiskey on the wounds
Salt the glass and say goodbye
No feel-good scenes to bring it back
Just falling brick and broken glass
 
Your breath drips sin, your thighs burn lust
Every gasp, every scream, got me drunk on your trust
You told me"Damn the world, just don't leave me behind"
So I set it all ablaze just to make you mine
 
For every last bruise you gave me,
For everytime I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me.
I wanna tell you this.
You broke my world, made me Stronger
Thank You, thank you, thank you.
 
I've been searching
For a way to say that you should move on
And I think we both know
You'll be better off after you're gone
You'll find somebody that looks at you
The way you used to look at me
And we both know it's been a while
Since I was the man you used to see
 
So forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy
But goddamn, sometimes crazy is how I feel
And my brain is starting to swirl
Down the drain of this old world
And there's only one thing girl I know is real
It's the love that I feel in your arms
It's the glow you wear around you like a charm
It's the tender in your eyes
That keeps me safe and warm at night
From this life
 
If you're gonna beg then do it right
Say my name and grip me tight
You begged for wreckage and you flaunt it
Moan so loud the room feels haunted
Whimper when I say your name
Louder, feed me all your shame
I don't want love, I want control
 
.... The man is dead
The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher.....
 
[Suicide]

The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seemed generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't, pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watching

The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is strangling the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner, we can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there, watching

[America]

America, where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
 
I'm not proud of everything I've done
But I've never intentionally hurt anyone
- Waylon Jennings
 
My feet are so cold,
And I can't believe that have to bang my head against this wall again,
But the blows they have just a little more space in between them,
Gonna take a breath and try, try again

-Blind Melon
 
Springtime comes and the leaves are back on the trees again
The snipers are harder to see my friend
Weeding out your weekends
 
If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame
Though I'll never forget your face, sometimes I can't remember my name
 
I'm gettin' out the car, I slam the door
We've done this shit before, I ain't doin' it tonight
Baby, back off out my face right now
Don't you tell me to calm down
No more words, just fuck you for now
