Lyrics

AJJ

Back Pack

From Knife Man2011

Written by Ben Gallaty, Sean Bonnette

Produced by Jalipaz Nelson

Lyrics

Back Pack

You were dead By the time that I had found you Your blood was spilled On the couch where we had First kissed So I carried you West To the sea So I could wash you

Your body felt just like a backpack And I don't know What they did to your face And I don't like it You lived large Til the day they finally caught you They cut out your tongue So you would not scream

When you came to And you pissed blood And then they chained you up When you turned blue Your body felt just like a T-shirt And I wanna build a tower To all the nicer things you could've been But I don't like it You were dead By the time that I had found you
