Wishing Well

(album: Rebelator - 2022)

And the devil's opening up my skull
Reaching on down to clutch my soul
I'm so heavy lying on the floor
Don't give a damn baby give it some more now
Get the fuck out and turn off the lights
No wait come back I don't wanna fight
There's a rusty cage with a beast inside
He's grinning through the bars
But I don't mind

These streets will burn you alive as if you're going through hell
Sometimes all that you've got goes down the wishing well
There's no silver lining hearts of gold they don't sell
When all that you've got goes down the wishing well
Goes down the wishing well

And the road up to paradise runs through hell
Don't hear don't speak never tell
Cuz the golden boys got you under his spell
And you crawl into the back seat ringing a bell
And I told you I told you I tell you again
Someone's beginning is somebody's end
And the weight of the world and its original sin
Built this cage that holds you in

These streets will burn you alive as if you're going through hell
Sometimes all that you've got goes down the wishing well
There's no silver lining hearts of gold they don't sell
When all that you've got goes down the wishing well

The finding the losing
The joy left for the taking
The hunger the loathing
A heart that won't stop breaking
The hunter the prey
The one missed shot
Are sometimes all that you've got
And sometimes all that you've got
Goes down the wishing wishing well

These streets will burn you alive as if you're going through hell
Sometimes all that you've got goes down the wishing well
There's no silver lining hearts of gold they don't sell
When all that you've got goes down the wishing well

The finding the losing
The devil's opening up my skull
The hunger the loathing
Reaching on down to clutch my soul
The hunted is hunting till the road up to paradise runs through hell
And the finding is losing
Don't hear don't speak never tell
Don't hear don't speak never tell
