When Bad Things Happen...

(album: PULLBACK - 2022)

Oh well
You kept it to yourself
Now there's only seconds for you
Seconds to bleed out
You hide it very well
And got saved by the bell
The cycle starting and over again

You're already dead
But what about your friends
It's such a fucking struggle to fit in
You can never win
You gave all that you can
And I can feel you crawling all over my skin

Told my truth and they didn't believe me
But they trust all the things on their tv screen
They said that it's all in my head
I swear that you'll never see me again

Monsters come out of their coat for the evening
All of their victims left coughing and bleeding
Dressed in my blood and it's oh so deceiving
We can wake up kill them with the same thing

Often
You cannot break what's broken
Don't try to keep my focus
Woah over everything
I'll do whatever it takes
Just to sustain

Caution
We walk with our rib cage open
Standing amongst the vultures
Woah over everything
You'll do whatever it takes
Ends in bloodstains

I don't wanna talk cause I'll have to breathe in
I'd ignore all your words but they tend to seep in
And honestly daily it's harder to keep my composure
I defend this bastion of light and exposure

I don't wanna talk
I'll have to take a breath
It's hard for that to happen when your words weigh on my chest

Cover up the cough
My face inside my wrist
I tried to remain subtle but I'm way too obvious

I don't want to think I lost it
If I had a grip, I dropped it
I forever wait to drop dead
My forever bed, a coffin

You can't help but think of options
Still I won't be one
When bad things happen
I'll be right there joining in the fun

Often
You cannot break what's broken
Don't try to keep my focus
Woah over everything
I'll do whatever it takes
Just to sustain

Caution
We walk with our rib cage open
Standing amongst the vultures
Woah over everything
You'll do whatever it takes
Ends in bloodstains

Often
You cannot break what's broken
Don't try to keep my focus
Woah over everything
I'll do whatever it takes
Just to sustain

Caution
We walk with our rib cage open
Standing amongst the vultures
Woah over everything
You'll do whatever it takes
Ends in bloodstains
