Clutch

(album: Trinity - 2022)

I knew we'd made a mistake as soon as I stepped inside
I could smell the liquor on his breath
A subtle hint of red wine
Our driver laughed, a chaotic grin on his face
He asked us where we're going, "I can take you any place."

"Take me home, take me home, take me home now
Take me home

Another one for the trip, another one for the road."
"The bottom of a bottle is the lowest I can go."
"A girl like you would never survive the road."

(Take me home)
My burdens are too much to bear
My spirit is broken and I'm looking worse for wear
(Take me home)
My bleeding heart has bled dry
Another reason I'm not to be left to drive

The hands of fate turn the wheel
Poison begins to lose its feel
Into the bones seep toxic woe
Indistinguishable friend or foe
Demons claim your rights to think
"No one forced you to have another fucking drink."
With loose lips, ships die and sink
Like karma and the devil working in sync

(I'm losing control)
But I'm bound to Hell, and loving it
(Burn my body when I'm done)
I'm having too much fun, yeah

Spit out your tongue
Demon of the wheel, spit out your tongue
"Oh, the Royal Queen in the passenger seat
Of everyone I've driven, you're the only one to lose their shit."

(Take me home)
My burdens are too much to bear
My spirit is broken and I'm looking worse for wear
(Take me home)
My bleeding heart has bled dry
Another reason I'm not to be left to drive
(Take me home)
Another one for the trip, and one for the road?
The bottom of a bottle is the lowest you can go
(Take me home)
A girl like me, I'd never survive the road
"Foot to the floor. Let's make us nothing more"

Foot to the floor. Let's make us nothing more

Pirouette to the collapse of the machine
A tragedy we should have foreseen
Metal scrapes as it dances across the asphalt
Death laughs like he's not at fault
Trapped inside a cage of substance so bitter
"We all burn together!"

We all burn together
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, get me out of this fucking...
Car

"Use this to draw the blood of the Baron
And you 3 will be returned to Earth enlightened
But be warned, if used to slay the ruler of your realm
The ones you love will return
But not in the way that you desire
Beware the wolves, maintain the keepers of the gates
Or converge our three worlds, and be struck down by Hell's rain."
