Dead Weight

Dead Weight

Prompt: Outro, Fade Out

Lyrics

Take a shot, take a drag, numb the voice that says I can't
Float above, yet below, is the life that I recant
In the silence before dawn, where my shadows are all drawn
Face to face with the void, but the emptiness ain't gone
Over edge, under skin, memories that always sting
Now the night takes its hold, let the lonely siren sing
I hit the high, I'm tryna feel special, ah
Blowin' smoke, but the sex won't settle, no
Light it up, light it up, pain won't fade, ah
Empty bed, drugs don't kill this dead weight, damn

Lost in clouds, yeah, I'm tryna forget, right
Pop-pin' pills, but the ache wins the fistfight
Cold as ice, yeah, my heart feels the backlash
High on lies, still the truth got the last laugh
Swear the rush, it ain’t worth the fall, oh damn
Chasing ghosts, in this hollow heart, just scram
Pour it up, pour it up, till I can't stand, oh man
Shattered dreams, got me trippin', no safe land, goddamn
Now the dawn's creeping in, yeah the morning's too bright
Shadows flee from the sun, but I'm lost to the night
Drowning noise in my head, as the high starts to wane
Chasing silence away, but the echoes remain
Gotta face what I've done, in the cold light of day
Wash away all my sins, let the past drift away
