Words Shouldn't Hurt

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

I write messages 

Hear the hollow ears

Egos in silence and fears

Turning in your head

Rattle from the void inside.

A coma bed head

Dead red blood shed

You couldn’t care less in the end

A cave in my chest for

Discarded teddy bears.

(Pre-Chorus)

You don’t know

The life I tried to scratch away

Stuck inside your ivory lies

Darker than sunless skies.

(Chorus)

I’m caught in a hell

Caged and locked in my brain

Toying with my soul

Stripped down you sell

My freedom for pain

Crucified as heroes

Run away

God sends a flood

To save the rest of time.

Loveless stares

Like a kept fool

Your personal ATM

I’m your kept tool

Avoid the clear truth

As it is your own

A right hand that swears by lies

Your crooked smile tries

Like a half moon hides

Beside the shadows 

Of your blurry alibi.

F**k you now

Tomorrow and yesterday

The black hole you escaped from

Should have gulped

These problems away.

(Pre-Chorus)

You don’t know

The life I tried to scratch away

Stuck inside your ivory lies

Darker than sunless skies.

(Chorus)

I’m caught in a hell

Caged and locked in my brain

Toying with my soul

Stripped down you sell

My freedom for pain

Crucified as heroes

Run away

God sends a flood

To save the rest of time.

Lie cheat steal

Fluff your alibi

Fade in the dust

Your thin lust walk of shame

Comes as you came fast

Doesn’t last 

Like a past week month before.

The core of your fame

Adores w****s

So f**k off on a false tour

When they ask 

I never knew ya

Ya ya ya ya ya yeah

Never turning down around 

Like a clown in a run around town.

(Pre-Chorus)

You don’t know

The life I tried to scratch away

Stuck inside your ivory lies

Darker than sunless skies.

(Chorus)

I’m caught in a hell

Caged and locked in my brain

Toying with my soul

Stripped down you sell

My freedom for pain

Crucified as heroes

Run away

God sends a flood

To save the rest of time.

Like an Uber hooker

Catching all the trout spout

Scribbled lies cries

Tabasco tears fall

Over your false alibi

You are forever the god of lies.

(Pre-Chorus)

You don’t know

The life I tried to scratch away

Stuck inside your ivory lies

Darker than sunless skies.

(Chorus)

I’m caught in a hell

Caged and locked in my brain

Toying with my soul

Stripped down you sell

My freedom for pain

Crucified as heroes

Run away

God sends a flood

To save the rest of time.

A peasant best friend

Judas diluted by liquid dated expired

Jealous hatred

Punk a*s b***h.
