Track Lyrics

The Guilty Dog Lyrics

9 ContributorsThe Guilty Dog LyricsLonely, am I though I try to look otherwise?
Laugh or smile, disguise or rather hide
The insecurities I feed
You ask, why mask, what is going on with me?
Fuck!
Why should you care?
And I remember thinking to myself
"God if you're up there send me down someone who gives a fuck"
It's hard living, it's hard times in my mind
Doubt everything around me yet I say
"You're not fine" I tell myself "You're not right"
It's insane the things I wish that I had felt
Like the piercing sting of a Father's belt
Because tough love is still love, love's tough, I know this much
So I'll tell you right now motherfucks, life's harder when you got none
Shit and yet still I try
They say the guilty dog barks first
And I've been barking til my fucking throat hurts
And this is it, the guilty dog barks first
And I've been barking til my throat hurts
For many years I've tried
To escape what makes me me
But all I wanted my whole life
Was just somebody to give a fuck

Ghost Pains, Part III Lyrics

5 ContributorsGhost Pains, Part III LyricsI think too much
To be accepted and not rejected
I am the outcome of an absent father
I am the product of a single mother
She hid her doubt
To keep my heart safe
I shut my mouth
Afraid hers might break
How do you
Even begin to tell
Your child they were never wanted
Father
What did I do wrong?
Father
How could you do wrong?
You did wrong
Quick to turn your back
Even though it made me feel like trash
My mother swore to me
"We'll be fine without him"
As she put me into my bed
And I watched her weep
The lullaby of a mother's cry
Alone
And undeserving of her pain
I now see why she lied to me
To ease my pain
Cause there was never fuck to say
Tabooed
Hush now
Whenever I would ask about you
Ask about you
Life's a bitch when you're a bastard
Jealous of love
I'd question my fucking self
My heartache continues everyday
So Father's Day stay the fuck away
This is our message to you
I know now that I shouldn't stay down
About you walking out
It's made me who I am
And I'm fine with it
I know now that I shouldn't stay down
About you walking out
So Romero Lanuza you can keep your life
No father or not
I'll still be living life
I will live my life without you
Go

Blossom Lyrics

8 ContributorsBlossom LyricsPlastic flowers on a cold level splay
Cigarettes lay sizzling in your tarred ash tray
Forty-six and always sick, my hopes they were all gone
Vacuum lips and every bit of smoke is withdrawn
Get up, get up
A rush of fire burns, I'm in its light
Choked up or chained down
I burned with it and I burned with you
Every time you coughed I feared the very worst
Thinking you ate smoke to cure your belly's thirst
Like loose change in a coffee can, your throat it would burst
And I wanted better for you, strangled your days were cursed
Charred lungs and breath that smoldered
I just couldn't see it til I got older
You spoke through crackles and you walked as if you were shackled
Slowly but surely, it conquered you
And I just watched, I did nothing
Fuck
