Five Alive

Yeah, shambles as a rule Tangled like chasing a train But still look cool Somehow still limp along So fly that it feels like a strut Like glitter on a black eye Or tattoos over scars Keeping all flames lit When the breeze five alarm Bet tho, fresh coat of Rusto Flat black (yeah duh) Tight bolts, presto Till the bell tolls really Till my knees and my speech goes silly Till it reach that hilltop spread With the views and the truth Get whole, break bread Been ready, been set Been chilly, been dead All the way live though By some twist of energy I'm alive And I can't just not I'm head first, dive in I was really dripping Thinking there was peace to ink in Guess I had fallen on my own pen Writing "Do you?" Now I'm really bending Guessing every sword is double edged Never thought that art was war Cut cord, wonder Do you too? My friend he's all heart It's on sleeve He's all hurt He's all art He's won't speak It decorates his arms My girl she's all work She's no sleep She's all hurt She's all art She won't grieve It decorates my house These tattoos don't say much to you Wake me up in the middle of a night terror I'm scared but these tats don't talk me down Safe arms and my fists can't fight fair Ghost dad? Nah son that's Dadface to you Left & right Life or death, Aztec, more than skin deep, sacrifice the blood to you Lines connect the scars like connect the dots, got eight for my crew Ink for my dead big sis center of the chest spot Right where her heart went stop Off the rip half dead plenty mizer Pound foolish and a penny wiser Glucometer high But now my veins won't pump that saccharin, fentanyl, pfizer Leave it running Leave the keys in it If I ain't back in a minute, gun it You can go and keep it I got both feet on the gas Something to prove, nothing to lose Extra room in the back Little petty cash In the petticoat So if the getaway's gone I'm still ready though Hold steady on the straightaway, fast as fuck Then it's pencils down because the eight bar's up Now Autumn walks along the woods Hardest talks about the past Always saying if I could of Always ending in the glass My only friends are finish last types Soda jerks that miss the glass All they ever did was gas light No reverse, and hit the gas It'll last, it'll stay The medicine is fast The bed is never made Head is in the past Telling me to stay Risk it all now? Edit, let it fade Edit, edit, get it, gut it now Check my night light, it ain't coming down Write for the night, I'm living, loving Running, drilling, I did my bed, I'm done and gone My friend he's all heart It's on sleeve He's all hurt He's all art He won't speak It decorates his arms My girl she's all work She's no sleep She's all hurt She's all art She won't grieve It decorates my house My friend he's all heart It's on sleeve He's all hurt He's all art He won't speak It decorates his arms My girl she's all work She's no sleep She's all hurt She's all art She won't grieve It decorates my house
