Two Lives

(album: Rare Americans 2 - 2021)

Mouth as dry, dry as a burned down house
Eyes pop open on a make strange couch
I see you, see you bent, see you grin, I see you spin
Nothing's as scary as blacking in
Nothing's as scary as black, black, blacking in

The body whispers, the body tells
Can you clean it up before it starts to yell
The body whispers, the body tells
Can you clean it up before it starts to yell

I got this thing going on
Inside my head, with my thinking
It seems to be brought on
By doing drugs, and drinking
I got this thing going on
Inside my head, with my thinking
It seems to be brought on
By doing drugs, and drinking

The body whispers, the body tells
Can you clean it up before it starts to yell
The body whispers, the body tells
Can you clean it up before it starts to yell

Staring at the carcass, two fiends excess
Glance at my phone and I see this text
Sender in all caps reads "mother of ex"
This cant' be good, what happens next?

"Our son, the kids father just said fuck the world
Ain't coming back, skipped town, dropped off the girls"
Flushed smokes, brush teeth, "can I cop a gram of weed?
Drug buddy said "take whatever you need"
Two lives, I'm leading
Two lives, I'm leading
Two lives, I'm leading two lives

The body whispers, the body tells
Can you clean it up before it starts to yell
The body whispers, the body tells
Can you clean it up before it starts to yell

Two lives
I'm leading two lives
I'm leading two lives
I'm leading two lives
