lyrics

Verse1
Watch the good go wrong, like a pothole but a toll road spawn
Won’t ever last long, match lit up but easily charred and gone
Can’t you find any other way. To stimulate that hollow paper weight
One may call a brain
Solo
Verse2
We’ll never celebrate what’s gone on or what you anticipate
Well maybe I’ll turn out that way
Stutter at my own face
Cracks don’t form easily left empty just guilt
Taking on a contract when naive and ill
And ill
Interlude
Bridge1
Covered in filth i wonder what youve been through
Been gone so long
Stray cat dead rat your hawk eyed talons food
An alley bankers pawn
Bridge2
Abandon the lost, you cant hold on
Captain jumps at a cost, finger tips from a fall
Watch the good go wrong
Clenched for it all
Verse3
Want you gone, but its on my head
Grab my hand your soaked in rum
Never see this man again
