The Big Sleep

Lyrics

In walks the bellhop snow blind and shell shocked One step from none left and six ways from cell blocked The wheel well rots in the pivotal year-Nearly fell off Your fears fall deaf on the criminal ear Subliminal steer of static sounds clear Now turn it louder than the panic 'round here Plastic frown smeared on the presidential portrait It represents the portion of those hesitant to worship Blue and red lights scream louder than the sirens Cower in the silence or be showered in the violence Sour from the time spent counting fallen angels They ain't dead, just tangled in the web wit all 'em strangled Damn right the freaks come out at first faded light So hit me with your high beams or get out of my sight Apologies were stricken from the record 'cause the quality was measured Peep the tall obscene that falls between the letters Bathed in a haze of the opiates we crave Save us from ourselves and our appropriated ways God bless the chemical rain I'm praying for the big sleep to lay me down easy Swing low, sing sweetly No pulse, pale eyes, can't reach me With blurred vision, mouth full of fire, slurred diction Muffled sounds coming out the trunk via curb kissing Earth splitting bass shakes the neighbors awake You hear them car alarms barking like they been through an earthquake Go chase the demons to the riverbank Baptize 'em til they stop movin/ it's either swim or sank I seen a shimmer faint glimmer of light But that was way back when and now its only the night I swear that they talkin' 'bout me/ I hear them voices From the next room over/ good thing I ain't sober Throw that chain lock on the door turn off them lights And pray to god that you stay outta mind, outta sight Radiator from hell shaking, spittin' up steam Drunk cops on the rooftop blowing shots at the stream Caught in between the crosshairs and walking the plank And now I'm lost in the haze of the fog of the dream A single white rose slides under the door And we both bolt lightening while it thunders and pours Hunger for more its empty and you wonder what for Number the war and figure you can't comfort a whore
Dirty kitchen floor epiphany no color included The others abused it specifically so love it or loot it Suffer the music/ interrogation room with a view Sit quiet while we figure out a new day of ruthless
