The Gang Discovers Overused Metaphors 03:09
lyrics

Another Cleveland winter – bleakness and misery. It leaves my heart bitter. I have let it get to me. You lied to the world to fake happiness. Now, here’s the black lash. Time to hide from repercussions. I hit the bottle and hit the bottom. Spinning records. Taking solace in those chords. I’ll rise from the ashes. I am the phoenix. It was all burns and crashes, now I’m searching for a higher meaning. I don’t know where I’m going but I’m excited just to find out. All that shit you say. Man, it really gets me so down. How can you sit on your mountain and criticize when opportunity is all around you? Got me out of hibernation. Gave it all to entice. Leading me towards aspiration, your fantasy saved my life. I’m growing guts and shaping up. It’s life I’m crushing after putting faith in something. I’ll ignore your spite. Start playing nice. I’ll find success just to prove I’m better than you. So I’ll stop complaining about my job, bruised knees, and dirty faces. Crying always led to trouble. I don’t know where I’m going but I’m excited just to find out. All that shit you say. Man, it really gets me so down. How can you sit on your mountain and criticize when opportunity is all around you? I don’t know where I’m going but I’m excited just to find out. All that shit you say. Man, it really gets me so down. How can you sit on your mountain and criticize when opportunity is all around you?

Please take me by the hand I need someone to understand That I’ve been sitting sad and lonely hunting for some affection But I cannot be happy. Not with this infection. Depression and anxiety are bad fucking chemistry I’m going insane Alone in my head again Help me I’m so afraid I fear a new day Alone and helpless once again this paranoia never ends And I can’t help but question the motives of all my friends “We’re here because we want to be.” At least that’s what they say to me. I can’t help but think it’s a scheme just to fucking kill me. I’m going insane Alone in my head again Help me I’m so afraid I fear a new day

A signed piece of paper is what we use just to prove our human worth When what we doesn’t reflect what it is we actually learnt The smartest fucking people I know are ones with some hidden intelligence A little sly with a lot of wit but not too overconfident Now is not the time to assess what you truly need Elevate your spending so we can live more lavishly What can be confused as greed is simple opportunity If one group doesn’t suffer who can we lord above? I can’t help but stop and think what it is the future will bring A flight of success or crashing in poverty There’s no sense in losing sleep over what I can’t predict Haven’t lived too long and most of those years haven’t meant shit Now is not the time to assess what you truly need Elevate your spending so we can live more lavishly What can be confused as greed is simple opportunity If one group doesn’t suffer who can we lord above? You fuck face king you might as well step down from your mighty throne How do you sleep at night with all the lies that you condone Your people will rise in upheaval attacking everything you own The flames they will glow glorious the riots will be well known

lyrics

They have left me in the gutter with a knife in my back. They have left me in the gutter with a knife in my back. When I wake up, I will find them. I will have revenge. When I wake up, I will find them. I will have revenge. They have left me in the gutter with a knife in my back. They have left me in the gutter with a knife in my back. When I wake up, I will find them. I will have revenge. When I wake up, I will find them. I will have revenge. I have left them in the gutter with a knife in their backs.

I’ve shut you out before I should have kept a lock on that door Once again I’ve let your lies rule I’m not your chess piece, a pawn or a fool I just want to talk about it you don’t want to talk about it can I finally let you go Your rage is often elemental abrasive, stiff and detrimental – you have left me buried in the snow Remember, remember the fifth of November the day I was born the day I regret Coming out of the womb and into this doom the path leading my straight to you Fool me once shame on you Fool me twice shame on me My intentions were misconstrued Left for dead at the Christmas tree I just want to talk about it you don’t want to talk about it can I finally let you go Your rage is often elemental abrasive, stiff and detrimental – you have left me buried in the snow Remember, remember the fifth of November the day I was born the day I regret Coming out of the womb and into this doom the path leading my straight to you I’ll be calling up all my friends Inviting them to the bar Forgive me if I light up again Just know my heart is hard When this night is over and through I’ll be sitting alone in bed I will fall asleep calm and cool In spite of what’s been said Now I’m free and now there’s hope Finally out of this tight rope That was strung around my neck I’m going out and raising hell I just want to talk about it you don’t want to talk about it can I finally let you go Your rage is often elemental abrasive, stiff and detrimental – you have left me buried in the snow Remember, remember the fifth of November the day I was born the day I regret Coming out of the womb and into this doom the path leading my straight to you
