I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds, wont heal I been the center of the drain thats full of lost causes Spinning, been here a minute, but I'm not falling Begging, Just bring the apathetic ending I casted the role beautifully in drowning but theyre not calling See I would've grabbed the bottle N skipped through tomorrow, tryna battle down the throttle N hit you with all I had and try grab for followers Been floating off the ledge now, I'm betting they would follow us down There's been a wreckage at the Docks Where my innocence is stringing up, with me and it at odds Cant think of even getting up, but Stuck in my insomnia And itching to get big enough, to never leave the rocks So you can pour another bourbon, And leave me here to find the time to find out if its worth it To lace up, I only stay to keep my fate fucked And break a couple chucks along the way to get my grade up I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds, wont heal I've been The model of the man I never saw coming Hide, You may Find me alive, but that is not what you, Want, I race you all through my old haunts I play the part of the Devil, while you meddle, but youre not running Ya See, I would've swung the blade N hit you with all I had to find out what you'd save N rip through the blackness just to find a darker shade When that abyss comes knocking we'll be locked by what we say There's been Death here at the plot Where the shovels finished digging up the casket through the rocks See I figure it's been long enough, I'm feeling claustrophobia So I bring it through the top, when I dont muddle through the nonsense So you can Pour another bourbon And leave me here to find the time to find out if it's worth it To run, I been a product of slums And I drug a couple chucks along, I'll never get enough I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds, wont heal And If you ever see me, what would I say And would you wanna try this game that I play You're missing And If you ever see me, what would I say And would you wanna try this game that I play You're missing I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds I been roamin in a dead mans shoes Been here rollin', bout a mile or two These blisters, these wounds, wont heal

There's too many lies now to come back Too many ties and I don't want that Too many fears, Within my skin Lies the bitter man you shouldn't want back You need me to rescue You need me but I don't help you You need me for nothing Just a stigma now and you don't want that Let me bleed, Let me see Let it be Don't let me feed Let me reach Set me free Let it be Don't let me feed You need me, you need me cause I'm your soldier I don't need me like you do I don't see me like you do, No We're in it for blood. Or somewhat Until we're stuck n now we can't run Too many dreams, within my skin Lies the million things that I have fucked up You need me, to hold back You need me, so you can know that You need me for nothing If you sit with bones, wont get your soul back Let me bleed, Let me see Let it be Don't let me feed Let me reach Set me free Let it be Don't let me feed You need me, you need me cause I'm your soldier I don't need me like you do I don't see me like you do, No What did you think, would come home? Whoa Why did you think, I'd run home? Whoa You need me to rescue You need me but I don't help you You need me for nothing Just a stigma and you don't want that You need me, to hold back You need me, so you can know that You need me for nothing If you sit with bones, wont get your soul back You need me, you need me cause I'm your soldier I don't need me like you do I don't see me like you do, No

I been putting on a smile, so you dont see me when I shake And you can care about my heart, but you wont be me when it breaks And I dont know what i cant take I know that what you give me is just living here within me and its not what i embrace It's not hatred, nah thats something I can say Cause I've been the kid that forgives for everytime you went away And i've been staring down the west, easy on my breath See I'm barely even breathing while I'm pleading with a threat And I'm gone but see I never really left And you knew that, what it coulda been is tatted on my chest Now in true black, the depths of which you couldn't inercept Or comprehend it, you're thinking that you got me wanting you back But see I never really had it, Illusion, your daggers buried with me in my casket And you could, dig up a grave in Colorado dirt I'm in the dessert now and Staring up at Mercury Take me back to mercury. You can put me in the dirt Take me back to mercury You can leave me there with her You can leave me there with her See They say we'd never be set, move on to the next But I've been hiding all my friends from the scar that's on my chest I Don't know what I should do next I know that what I need is never just what it seems, And it's not who I should be yet Never set in stone, but these memories never go Just thinking that I should hold on to someone that never knows me Never owed me anything, I'll be there we'll be better then Or maybe I'll be buildin up on everything we've never been When I'm gone But see I'll never really leave N you knew that, We'll rip apart this heart thats on my sleeve I can do that, Be easy when You're sinking in your teeth Dont wanna end it, Just want to find the place for me to breathe at But see i never really had it A dream, where I'm not carrying with me any baggage And we , Dig up the bones In Colorado's worth, Cause if I'm letting go I'm falling back from mercury Take me back to mercury. You can put me in dirt Take me back to mercury You can leave me there with her Leave me there with her You see that we've been setting up the scene, narrow down the cast Got our parts to play, but we, would barely ever know the half of it Last breath, a long trip in getting that Im, just trying to get my gravity back Take me back to mercury. You can put me in dirt Take me back to mercury You can leave me there with her You can leave me there with her

And they say, love is only a game we play Just a second of your mistakes Cause you don't hear me like you should And they say, I've gone blind, you've gone crazy Just a second til your mistake Cause you dont heal me like you should If you could give a little bit of your energy you could keep me afloat But if we dig until the end theres no telling me baby, which way to go I've been waiting for the fall of your rain For so long I've been washing all the blood down the drain It's all wrong I've been waiting for the fall of your rain For so long I've been washing all the blood down the drain It's all wrong And they say, The flood's will wreck us until we break Just a second of your distaste Cause you dont feel me like you should And they say, I've gone blind, you've gone crazy Just a second til your mistake Cause you dont heal me like you should If you could give a little bit of your energy you could keep me afloat But if we dig until the end theres no telling me baby, which way to go I've been waiting for the fall of your rain For so long

I never change Somewhere where the smoke clers, i never change I said I'm somewhere going nowhere Gimme a moment to breathe You woke but its only a dream, and I feel like I been at sea, for so long You want but I saw what you need You call but its always a speech, and you wanna be the cause of the grief, it's so wrong We talk about a cause and effect Saltwater in the scars on my neck, Saw it coming, yeah they saw us and said, to go home Wanna pull up to a stall and eject Brought nothing and thats all i got left, so if you wanna keep all you can get, then go on Same old lonely bar Same old friends You can take my clothes off Same old skin. I never change Lonely bar, lonely bar Same old friends You can take my clothes off Same old skin. I never change ****Chance Watts Verse***** Same old lonely bar Same old friends You can take my clothes off Same old skin.

You can leave me where the wind dont hit me You can put me in an early grave You could be the one to almost get me But you dont see the world through what I say Said there was another but I didnt wanna wonder what would Be left sitting after what you take Set me on the way back, wouldn't wanna change that, You would be The journey I would always take Never wanted blood but I'm thinking I could always leave Never want another but I bargain cheap, and I never said I loved you but I'm always deep, in it Shoulda benefitted but I didn't get the effort to keep her if she was winning, Again if I never get it I bet with another record, I slept with nobody better but, Damnit if she gets me So leave me where the drip dries, See the creep but you can grieve me when I slip by Need to eat but I got people I could live by And never try to think about the world between them thick thighs I put a firm grip on normalcy But I've been sinking out in northern deep I'm turning to the person I don't ever want to burden me Been fighting my own heart, But I feel lately I've been learning peace You can leave me where the wind dont hit me You can put me in an early grave You could be the one to almost get me But you dont see the world through what I say So leave me in the cold, but I never want another You could bleed me in the snow, but I never want another You could leave me when I go but I never want another I never want another, I never want another, no

Who don't wanna party with the monsters? Repeat and seek the scenery If the Free is left to wander, I'll be in the heat repeatedly It's worth it, I'm searching with a fine tooth comb To find a soul that I can squander, with some wiggle room to work with I used to spin a room with purpose But I've become a victim to my surface I'm Selfish and I rush, I forget how I come across But I put your finger on the cut and showed you how to shoot a star Im a lost cause, and I'm caught inside ya crosswalk, Staring down the headlights, where everybody wants one You're only fixing what you're missing when you want goodbye So if this is honesty, Don't twist into my fucking lies Trying to fly while I've been stuck inside And while I could try I'd just get cut up on my fucking ties You duck and jive but I've been sinking you from the inside So you can leave, but you know me so you'll be down to ride Fumble through the dark, Take ya pic n play ya part You know you're swimmin with a shark, with me that night I stole ya heart I put a spell on you babe Struggle for the knife, tussle, stumble through the light Couple critics in the heart with me, that night I stole ya life I put a spell on you babe Who don't wanna Share the needle with strangers? Cause Love is like drug So scared of coming down we chase the hit that never comes It's a beautiful circle when the circumstance fits it and I remember the day when you were happy I existed And that Curse was never lifted While I search for a cure, you Search for repentance We delve into the lust, and wonder where we fell apart Shoo the dagger when we thrust and come up somewhere near the start Of a lost cause, And were caught inside that crosswalk Staring at me like spotlights, and pray I dont come on strong You're only fixing what you're missing when you want to leave So if it's something we don't need then we should let it breathe Wanna see what I can never be And while I could seek to pry a demon from another sleep You duck n jive but I've been sinking you from the inside So you can leave, but you know me so youll be down to ride Fumble through the dark, Take ya pic n play ya part You know you're swimmin with a shark, with me that night I stole ya heart I put a spell on you babe Struggle for the knife, tussle, stumble through the light Couple critics in the heart with me, that night I stole ya life I put a spell on you babe

I take a breath between the smoke, Tryna breathe alittle peace before I leave cause I still see you as a ghost And I dont wanna be the one to choke When after everything I gave I guess I didn't see you leaving with a note Cause I was young, and I swept alot of blood under the rug Dont know what I could expect when I was damaged from the jump And I buried every shred into the mud Tryna pick up every piece, and clearly were a door thats never gonna shut So pick it up, or you can leave it where you left me Between the peace of letting go and being empty And I dont wanna be the one to breathe But if you dont wanna be the one to say it, you'll just be the one to tempt me So take a breath and breathe it out Just take a breath and breathe it out I take a breath and breathe it out So take a breath and breathe it out I catch my breath inside the calm Tryna ease into the water while I figure out whe all of this went wrong And I'm alittle beaten up n scarred See we lean to being easy . I'm just tryna see the fodder through the fog Cause I was dumb, And I drug every skeleton from the mud Dont see why you'd wanna blame me, my retreat is being sprung And I left you with that bitter on your tongue Shoulda been the one to see it, see a piece of me is never giving up So let it go, let it fester in the sick Somewhere in between the lies and every little thing we missed And you dont be the one to quit I got every weapon ready, hurt is plenty, it's the reason I exist So take a breath and breathe it out Just take a breath and breathe it out I take a breath and breathe it out So take a breath and breathe it out
