Killer Cologne

(Album: To Dream Beneath The Scorpion - 2023)

Maybe I'm ashamed
'Cause maybe I'll lose
I'm broken apart
Looking for the glue
But the fight isn't done
There's more I could do
A man is his heart
And the heart can be bulletproof

So yeah, maybe I'm maimed
But I'll never be done
I'll stand like a king
With a crown made of blood
Look in my eyes
See what hasn't been touched
The sting of defeat
Needs permission to cut

And maybe I'm just wrong
And maybe I should admit its over
But that's just not my way
You see a dead man walking
I see the steps I take

I'ma finish what I started
I'ma get through this I promise
One way or another I'm making it home
I keep this photo in my pocket
Through all this, I still haven't lost it
'Cause if my lover's got a view

I know living is a killer cologne
I'll see you when we're kissing hello
'Cause baby, I'm making it home
I'll see you when we're kissing hello
'Cause baby, I'm making it home

So here I'ma stay
The arena can boo
I'm liking the scars
I'll spit out the tooth
Yeah, we're not the same
I'm not my wounds
A man is his heart
And the heart can be bulletproof

Yeah, there is no blade
That'll cut through my soul
There is no gun
I'm afraid you can load
When you look in my eyes
See I am whole
You can hurt this flesh
But no pain will ever touch my ghost

So I'ma finish what I started
I'ma get through this I promise
One way or another I'm making it home
I keep this photo in my pocket
Through all this, I still haven't lost it
'Cause if my lover's got a view

I know living is a killer cologne
I'll see you when we're kissing hello
'Cause baby, I'm making it home
'Cause baby, I'm making it
'Cause baby, I'm making it home
