I don't give a f*ck about your feelings
You don't have any idea just what I had to do to get what I want
All I wanted was to make a decent living
I can't even count it on my fingers how much sh*t that I lost

Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
He said, "I'll break it to you, son"
"Let me break it to you, son"
Your 's up."
I said, "my 's up?"
Well, I don't see how-"
He said, "The that used to work-
It won't work now."

I had a dream
Ah, shucks, oh, well
Now it's all up
It's shot to hell

Yeah, yeah, my 's up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you

That amazing grace
Sort of passed you by
You wake up every day
And you start to cry
Yeah, you want to die
But you just can't quit
Let me break it on down:
It's the up

Well I woke up Sunday mornin', with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more, for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet, for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair and, stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my brain the night before on, cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid cussin' at a can, that he was kickin'
Then I crossed the empty street and caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin', that I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "you must not ask for so much"
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, "hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh, like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

Mostly sober
Sometimes I change my mind
And I don't have the time
No, we never do

Love and love and nothing else
It's all I need

Well, you know I wouldn't fight
If these guys wouldn't shove me
Now I can't go home
'Cause my baby, she don't love me
There ain't no use in tryin' anymore

It's empty where you were
Just a big gaping hole
now I tried every bottle
every pill that I know
but time baby time
works better than wine
and bloodshot eyes

I went to the mountains
I thought it might help
I wrote some songs
But they were sh*tty as hell
Only works when I'm broken
Four inches from dying
And at my best

If you know what I know
And I think that you do
You head to the country
For a minute or two
And lie on the earth
And for better or worse
Let it swallow you whole.

Thank you Jack Daniels Old Number 7

Tennessee Whiskey got me drinking in heaven

And even the angels start to look good to me.

I guess they'll have to to point me to the fiery deep

Our fingers are missing
They litter the ground
Grass will never grow near
This town again
The frames on the walls are crooked and empty
These shoulders bend low towards the dirt
I made a deal to get us out of this place
But I am falling apart with each step I take
And as the pieces fall

I count them all.

The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge
The man in white -- that's you -- says he has no friends
The river is swollen up with rusty cans

And the trees are burning in your promised land
And there are no letters in the mailbox
And there are no grapes upon the vine
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore
And there are no diamonds in the mine

This thread is now open to the public but only people who don't listen to embarrassing garbage

Leaning
Told you that I love you, didn’t mean it
Everybody here wants the feeling
Let it fill the room to the ceiling
No one’s really being, keeping up an appearance
Let down my dearest
Shame it’s what I needed
Took her to the Eiffel, tryna change her view
You gave her the city but she looking at you
I’m still tryna know myself
Know my path
Coz when you lead the way
That journey's dark
I had to shed some light on my past
I had to change the clocks before
My first alarm, I told them

So here is what you need to do:

Take my numbers out your phone.

Don't come by my crib no more.

Don't be telling your friends to tell my friends to tell me nothing.

Okay?

And tell your little brother when he sees me on the street don't be running up to me and giving me dap and all that because we ain't cool like that

Oh yeah.

Remember those times I said I loved you?

I lied, b.itch.

Mommy I know the reason that you reaching out

Cuz the secret on the streets been leaking out

Heard different girls speakin' bout

XL

And you seeming to be left out: Oh well.

Don't hate me, you should hate yourself

You tried to play me and you played yourself

And now lately you been feeling the blues

You was eager to play the game without knowing the rules

You fowled out

Which means I found out

You wasn't really riding was you?

And now because you

Heard I'm heavy in the streets

You want me back

But uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh: It's a rap for you

My ex says I'm lacking in depth

I will do my best

You say you want to stand by my side

Darling your heads not right

I say alone we stand, together we fall apart

Yeah I think ill be alright

I'm working so I won't have to try so hard

Tables they turn sometimes

So we're up all night scheming

We don't get tired, we get even

I can't sleep anyway.

So I'm up all night scheming

I don't get tired, I get even

I've done horrible things to wonderful people.

I've let horrible people stay living.

I've looked my family in the eye and told them:

Leave me to die. Or I'll make you sorry you didn't.

I've stolen from people who didn't deserve it.

I've not helped people who did.

I've turned away when I knew I made a mistake instead of dealing with it.

I've wasted good chances I've had in this life that other people won't even get.

I put off setting things right with Andy,

And now he's dead.

I'm not a good person.

Ask anyone who loves me.

I never write, I never call, I never think about anyone at all.

I'm not a good person

I'm sure you're not surprised.

I'm sure it's pouring out my sweat glands.

I'm sure it's somewhere in my eyes

Don't expect to be saved, there's not a hero in sight.

My microphone is hotter than your heroin pipe

Like the finest piff and maybe even some white to sniff

It ain't no cat nap but I'm sure it have you lying stiff

Try it kids, Vicoden with Flintstone Vitamins

Get home, get stoned, and lie about your righteousness

Naw I'm serious, in fact I seen God today

We had a deep discussion over Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay

A bird caught my attention, I chased her and she got away

Left with pennies and I had to learn the hard way

That's a fowl shot and I ain't score anything but memories that end in me getting

But that's the past, try not to ponder it anymore

Represents a metaphor of another closing door

Au Revoir Simone,

Sad songs when I'm alone

So let's raise a glass to disappointment

And let's raise a glass to regret

And what the hell,

Let's raise a glass to pretending we never met

Keep your tie straight

Straighten out your smile

She really loves you

Like a favorite lie.

That we keep telling

To save ourselves

Like a pretty mansion that never sells
