Kill Me in Connecticut

[Verse 1: Stray]
Forty South shaman come Samhain off the heartbreak
Talk the wrong way, dead robins paint the driveway
One fist knockin' three times on the windowpane
Remind me of my habits gained, force fed since the eighth grade
Lantern lit creepin' slow through the silent city
Not a whisper in the air like a cemetery
Coughin' up a lung, pullin' off this blunt
Daydreamin' too deeply even got the fuckin' Sandman slumped
He told me I could be anything, I don't believe a word they utter
860 ain't cuttin' brakes, Dilly told me if I want it, prepare for the stakes
He said that most won't understand, you let them dig they own graves
I've been birthed out the mud, swam my way through the swamps
From backwoods up in Hartland down to the Elm City blocks
Singing to Luna I'm ready without a sense of regret
It's East Side of the hollow, bitch, you know how it gets (What?)

[Chorus: Stray]
All my friends have walked through Hell
I don't relate to the ones doing better
Pouring out some form of shadows, still lurking on my own
Under streetlights, jaded, still bitter
Man, tell me what they want (Blood)
Where they drain you from (Love )
From the last flicker off the wick until it's gone, no promise of it all
If I fall, spill my blood on their leaves
I hope they kill me in Connecticut and not in my dreams (not in my dreams)

[Verse 2: Stray]
Better give 'em what they want (Yeah!)
Otherwise you get labeled the problem and made out as root of the cause
Nobody claimin' the fault, barely awake and I'm fannin' them off
I got to go find my escape in this place before I find a gauge and start poppin' it off
Can't you taste the payback? It's great, man
Got the seat heated hotter than Satan
Constant years of insecurities, double back on frustration
Makes even seconds of peace worth every moment of anguish
Dwelled in dark days where I felt cold and alone
But I was born an only child and raised to walk on my own
The faster I came to terms that people come and then some go
The sooner I learned that those who choose to stay are ones you keep close
But remember this (remember this), even the realest switch up
So be mindful of the patterns amongst the smiles you trust
CT will rip your heart out with any respect
It's East Side of the hollow, bitch, you know how it gets (What?)

[Chorus: Stray]
All my friends have walked through Hell
I don't relate to the ones doing better
Pouring out some form of shadows, still lurking on my own
Under streetlights, jaded, still bitter
Man, tell me what they want (Blood)
Where they drain you from (Love )
From the last flicker off the wick until it's gone, no promise of it all
If I fall, spill my blood on their leaves
I hope they kill me in Connecticut and not in my dreams (not in my dreams)
