talks like forest fires / dull red glow on the horizon, a smell like god has crossed the wires reach out and find the line / where all of this gets soft and hazy, it's safer there, it just takes patience each moment is forever / I sure wish they'd stop I'm so tired / I'm so scared I've never been so tired and we're not even halfway there standing in the rain / this wasn't how it was supposed to go, I smell the ashes of my home no end in sight / can't bear to look for for what I'll find, take up the lye, aim for the eyes each moment is forever / I sure wish they'd stop I'm so tired / I'm so scared I've never been so tired and we're not even halfway there

Cop Cars 02:42
well I'd fly away, but I still got payments on my wings / it's so goddamn cold, I barely remember New Orleans we could leave tonight, yeah we'll head for the hills / it's getting dark in here and already burned the last of the bills but some of us still die in the back of cop cars, and a lot of old rich white men just keep getting old so finish that drink, dear, and choke back your tears / yeah come on now, it's time for the show when you found me, did I still have the bottle in my hand? / this table needs straightened, this wasn't part of the plan let me just stop and think, it's a bad habit of mine / you know I'm trying to quit but I just can't seem to find the time but some of us still die in the back of cop cars, and a lot of old white men just keep getting old so finish that drink, dear, and choke back your tears / yeah come on now, it's time for the show

who's writing this shit, and what did you cut this with? / and other great questions of our time is there a ledger? I barely even knew 'er / so where should I sign, on this line? I knew it was you meryl I think that you should sit on down for this / it's not great sure, I stole those scenes, but this feels a tad off to me / I never even got to see Wyoming I knew it was you
