by the creek

(album: outsider - 2018)

Lie to me
I think I finally
Struck a chord violently
Ripped it right out the seams, yeah
Hide and seek
They found another body by the creek
The killer's out on a spree
I'm afraid of everything I see

There's a ghost inside my bedroom
At least I'm not alone but I can just pretend to
Be awake with everything that I attend to
Or sleep the day away and probably offend you
I don't wanna waste another minute
I can see the voices in your head, don't wanna listen
The light reflects the glass and then the dust starts to glisten
Kissing you inside your bed is something I've been fucking missing
At night, I turn my fears into my art
Crept inside my chest and rip my beating heart apart
I'll be wheezing, coughing up the blood my demons will depart
I'ma add 'em up and drag 'em to the basement, where I start
Fix myself with bandages and roaches from last week
I've been searching for a purpose and some sugar coated sweets
Take a swisher and I crack it in the middle of the street
I can spark it when I'm thirty, I'm not leaving 'till I peak, no

Lie to me
I think I finally
Struck a chord violently
Ripped it right out the seams, yeah
Hide and seek
We found another body by the creek
The killer's out on a spree
I'm afraid of everything I see
