down in flames

My life fucking sucks
I'm an artist from the middle of nowhere
I've never gotten lucky, or had any overnight success
Because I refuse to sell my soul

I'm back
Sorry it's been a year, I figured that
You wouldn't want to hear from me, 'til
I grew up, well I grew some
Hell, I'm still dumb as shit
Can't relax
I know you'd never hate me like a fact
And we both know my judgement's kinda ass
We got too numb
To the gruesome
Hell, I'm not over it

They'll repeat no names when you take my place
Bridges all go down in flames

A pact
To take a second breath before I act
When I should cry it's reflexive to laugh
And it's kinda funny once the moment's passed
You do the math
A half
Of part of what I am is all you have
I'm never giving everything I can
My shadow keeps the door closed
Bodies the hurt on my behalf

Cut my nose off to spite my face
Shove the needle straight into my veins
They'll repeat no names when you take my place
Bridges all go down in flames

My head in my hands
Tail tucked between my legs
I know what I did
My head up my ass
Cause I can't say it to your face
I know what I did
(What I don't wanna hear you say)
What I don't wanna hear you say
(But I wanna hear you say)
But I wanna hear you say
(No names when you take my place)

Cut my nose off to spite my face
Shove the needle straight into my veins
They'll repeat no names when you take my place
Bridges all go down in flames
