There's a little red in your eyes,
are you having fun?
You shoot me down with words
your mouth is like a loaded gun.

There's ash on your lips
and smoke in the air..
You're drooling on yourself
while you're sleeping in my chair.

Hey, child why do you mourne your pride?
Broken bones mend over time
Listen to me im right by your side
Hate to see you drown in your own mind.

White on your nose
and needles in your arm
there's no blood left
it's just whiskey and rum.

Paper tabs on your tongue
are you always high?
Or are you taking your time
just to say goodbye?

Hey, child why do you mourne your pride?
You sleep all day and stay up all night
You got that rope around your neck
and its getting pretty tight
Feels like you cant breathe
but you'll be alright.
