lyrics

Lighting something up like it's your birthday,
Sweet as frosting.. Ashes falling like leaves in Autumn yeah

We spend this money like it’s nothing to a boss (wait, they make it rain how much?)
I’m my own boss with next to nothing in my bank account,
but this a special night baby, I’mma take you out.. let’s paint the town
Red as I can afford..
I think I got enough for one door (That's it)
I left my mark though
Rothko
Ruffalo
Perfect for the part Hulk
Can't fucking cope
With this explosive anger (I am)
The soul disabler
Was close to the edge
Now I'm far, vertically
faith required for the leap
But none if pushed, in fact
That’ll make you lose it fast
Now, how loose your grasp?

I'm just trying to hold on..
(I’m just trying to hold on, hold on, hold on)
I’m close to losing it
(That what you don't want)
Close to losing it, yeah

I'm just trying to hold on..
(I’m just trying to hold on, hold on, hold on)
I’m close to losing it
(That what you don't want)
Close to losing it,
Become so use to it
I’m close to losing it (I’m so close
And what happens then I won’t be choosing it
(I won’t be in control)
But if it's up to me I won't be losing it
(I’m gonna try)
And what you’ll see is a true display of strength
and strive for the same…
If this don’t drive me insane first

What more can you ask of me?
This worlds fucked, contractually
I'mma breach it, no allegiance to the elite
Leaders leaching.. Coch brothers tit
Mother’s milk received
Deceitful, cover steeped
Lady liberty a milf they seek
To hit ’til she used up
Ain't Interested in pleasure that's mutual
Ain't satisfied unless it's sadomasochistic and abusive
By force against refusal
and it’s futile resisting
unless you looking for a suitable suicide mission
And maybe I am… then no more can they ask of me,
no more can they tax from me..
Just taxidermy my corpse, more ornaments for their mantlepiece..
In this den of horrors every little orphan Annie sees..
Can't shield her from 'em
Can't fill her stomach, fill her brain with toxins
Make her view herself as object on the street for profit,
still the cheapest offer
