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
