I'm back
No more smoke, just gum in my jaws
Or smoke when I'm raw or alone, need the tar
I'm back
Gabbro coat, riprap on my sides, keep afloat
Shot rock when the shoreline falls
I'm back
No more home, ain't it fun on the road
'Til the end, little fish swim in my eyes when they close
I'm back
Anti-pose, pay bills, no one claps, no laughs
Jaw sore, silver packs on the floor as I pass
And I chew up all your time
Keep chewin', kid
Keep chewin', kid
I'm back
Adipose, call it fat, tolerated
No cash, hear the hollow heel clack, negative flash
I'm back
Drowning now
All around
Just wet
Keep the hate
In your mouth
Buy it drinks
Keep it fed
As it chews up all your time
Keep chewin', kid
Keep chewin', kid
I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
For the crown
Lay it down on my head, king of fools
Consecutive king of failures, lord of losers
Vox mud, vox null
Can you hate yourself and still deserve love?
I'm back
Can you hate yourself and
Still deserve love?
Can you hate yourself and
Still deserve love?
Can you hate yourself and
Still deserve love?
Can you hate yourself and
Still deserve love?
