So cold, so cold This for all my dogs that never left that front porch Counting the cop cars, watching the death march Barks and snarls, swimming in sorrow Drug soaked wading for tomorrow And you can bet your bottom dollar on the lotto Light up the sour and tip that bottle, I haven’t been sober in a while That same old same old fish oil embargo Now the devil may care but I don’t Keep slinging that dro, keep singing bout hope Thinking back to when the wish bone broke Blowing volcano smoke, gambling with ghost Go ahead and butter my bones Done burnt my throne, burnt my home Every cage is a tomb, a cage of bones imprisoning the soul Plug the hole with Marigold Pull the plug and lets go home So cold, so cold Bought a gun to stay warm(Armalite 15) Watching the worm turn Watching the Sun burn Joyriding to the liquor store Give me a pull, Give me a pour Give me a pull and a pour x2 Give me a worm to turn Give me a Sun to burn x2 We’re past the point of no return Shaken and stirred the lines blurred Blind eyes to the universe observed Deaf words fall like clockwork And how can it be in my head, when I’m out my mind Cant be late to work if i never find the time Its hard to rise and shine in the shadows Up the River of Styx without a paddle, an inner battle Disembowel the white owl, lets skip town and search for ourselves A body full of cells yet I’m the only prisoner Lets break free and go to times that are simpler Leave the city on simmer Watch the rearview glitter and glow When that fire dies down its gonna get cold So cold, so cold Bought a gun to stay warm (Armalite 15) Watching the worm turn Watching the Sun burn Joyriding to the liquor store x3

Sinking in An undertow of thoughts Back to the last waltz She keeps her band in a heart shaped box All gold and stained No longer glimmering Drug soaked and drained no longer swimming in Her shadows lonely chandelier gave her friends Cant sit without feeling the bends A cherry tip accents her berry lips A cherry tip accents her berry lips A candy jar full of barbiturates The only thing that lets the twisted minutes slip Nuclear shelter with a white picket fence And she’s peeking through the cracks of her rose tinted lens Peeking through the cracks of her rose tinted lens Let the, let the, let the, let the Let the gold rush Let the, let the, let the, let the Let the gold rush in (feel the gold rush) The gold rush ends, the sun sets, the clouds blush The pitter patter of puddles plus the chirping birds rattled by thunder The lust of winter, loss of wonder Let the cold numb the hunger, let the snow banks crumble Unleash the frozen bumble, blue black and yellow Chewed up and swallowed This love is hollow this love is hollow Chewed up and Swallowed Shallow and cold This love is fools gold This love, this love

Deadleaf will jump the shark 3rd track 1st verse Swim to the monsoon cause Charlie don’t surf Go back to the top of the slide, stop and turn And here comes the same old thing How my great white buffalo has wings You can catch her crouching tiger over the trees Sharing the atoms that created Eve The Diamonds weave, the Ruby’s bleed, the Onyx grieves, Stunting Bubba OG, Sour D’s, Blue Dream, Blunted DMT, Ketamine, Mushroom tea, Slumping Fumbling 2 thumb clutching my Peyote button When life gives me lemons I let them rot Call over a THOT to vhs and fuck Leaning against the world soaking up the rays Same shirt different day Cutting losses as a gain Expectations grow with age When life is easy you have to change The Diamonds weave, the Ruby’s bleed, the Onyx grieves, Stunting Bubba OG, Sour D’s, Blue Dream, Blunted DMT, Ketamine, Mushroom tea, Slumping Fumbling 2 thumb clutching my Peyote button Lets celebrate freedom till we reek of carcinogens Ooh and ahh at the blooming Chrysanthemums Lost in the floral pattern, radiant and scattered Our smiles highlighted by the glow Crackles and pops like our nights playing on vinyl The soundtrack of youth Days of watching cartoons Before we loosened the grips on our balloons Before we loosened the grips on our balloons We all know someone who let go too soon Wish we could, rewind and watch our favorite movies on repeat When Vcr’s weren’t obsolete Swaying in the sunbeams, collidoscopes and jet streams Carousel Stampedes Swimming holes and rope swings Lighting speed and golden rings Going beyond infinity Going beyond infinity Went from teddy bears and cookie jars To candy flipping at titty bars And we’re all looking for a ho to strong arm While we’re on guard waiting for windmills to charge Went from yoyo’s and hot wheels to snorting yayo off automobiles And if I keep passing out on the sofa Ill never shine as bright as a super nova And my sun dials been broken ever since Betelgeuse exploded My excuse for being late to every single appointment Everyones got a different definition of importance Mines tall bottles and cans, ounces and friends Singing about the nights that never have to end Singing about the nights that never have to end Goodbye Blue Monday

And I Cant enjoy music since I lost July Wandering in the air of the Summer tide Traveling by light of the fireflies Find some wild Rye and whisk by The apple blossom bottoms drip dry My 3 favorite things be Chicken, Pot, Pie Carve our initials in a bonsai Im’ma be too tongue tied to war cry Waiting for the continents to collide Done lost interest in the great divide Dropped a message in a bottle through the crack in the sky Waiting on the divine to reply Maybe the stars will never align We’ll always have the moonshine Gotta glass half empty of X’s and O’s Leased my soul to the Devil so it would be half full Wake up in the morning Crack open a beer Pull myself together wipe the toothpaste of the mirror Another day in Dixie shit don’t seem to change So I pour another Bourbon shot and take dabs to the brain If you need it mane holler at my boys The got connects from Cali They ready to deploy And I melt DMT like your grandma do (chips ahoy) Stole a stereo learned to set it up from Play Boy Its Hustler season, drop the hammer like Jesus Powder in my palm, my finger still Itchy and Scratchy They’ll never catch me (I got them) Lovesick blues (I got that) Drug soaked hue (I got this) Room with a view Always drawing the shades I got this room with a view Always changing shapes Gotta glass half empty of X’s and O’s Leased my soul to the Devil so it would be half full Im looking for an easier way Im just looking for an easier way Looking for an easier way Nugs like avocados x3 Getting fucked up is the motto x3 Nugs like avocados Getting fucked up is the motto Soaking a bag of Kratom while I’m busting open a THOT ho

She said that she would rather have me on her mind than anyone else And I can still feel how it felt watching the beauty melt By myself drinking bottom shelf, a bucket and a well Whats the spirit’s tell, Whistle for the bomb shell and wish you well Its such a beautiful day to smoke the matter away Whether its dark or grey Its such a beautiful day to dose the matter away Whether its dark or grey I need some place to blame Need some place to stay Ive been lost in space Since we parted ways Small hours echo in my brain Looking for a world to save Sold my world for an eighth Not my biggest mistake Leaning sideways waiting for the horns to play Sketches of Spain Don’t want to explain Whats a puddle without a rain Another artist in the paint going hard Van Gogh shows theres beauty past the bars Theres beauty past the bars Go (The Starry Night) She blooms and she blooms and she blooms she bloom Her color’s colder, shining golden, no longer frozen She glows and she glows and she glows she glow She blooms and she blooms and she blooms she bloom Her color’s warmer, they smolder, softer slower She glows and she glows and she glows she glow Her color’s warmer, they simmer, golden glimmer The sentiments mutual Need a vice Give me a few to roll Lighting up in Annabelle Lee’s hull When she was still whole At the kitchen table bumping Ultra Light Beam and Chanel Tip the scale, picks the pedal, feeds the gale Cant count the Lost thoughts gone with the gust Dollars in the rough Truffles in the trough She held me aloft when I fell off She held me aloft whenever I fell off Theres nothing left to keep me afloat in this undertow (Drug Soaked) Theres nothing left to keep me afloat in this undertow (Drug Soaked) Keep me afloat dreaming of your honey honeycomb (Drug Soaked) Dreaming of your honey honey honeycomb (Drug Soaked) Let the moons current carry me home (Drug Soaked) And if you knew the way would you carry me carry me (Drug Soaked) if you knew the way would you carry me home (Drug Soaked) And if you knew the way would you carry me to your honeycomb (Drug Soaked) To your honeycomb to your honey honeycomb Honeycomb Honey honeycomb yeah Honeycomb, honey honey come on (My Honeycomb) She blooms and she blooms and she blooms she bloom Her color’s colder, shining golden, no longer frozen She glows and she glows and she glows she glow She blooms and she blooms and she blooms she bloom Her color’s warmer, they smolder, softer slower She glows and she glows and she glows she glow Her color’s warmer, they simmer, golden glimmer

Keep luggage under my eyes I could travel for days No longer stuck in my ways No longer stuck in my Gotta pocket full of haze I finally feel my age Humans are hard to maintain Once they break No longer searching for better days No longer searching for better days Finally feel the Sun rays (Drug soaked) Finally feel the Sun
