Mother, I am lost cause
I swear you were always right, I am a sorry sight
And Father, I know I lost you
We couldn’t solve this with harsh words or fist fights
If my head was a city, then I’m a civil war
With the bottle on the shelf, smoke stains on the floor
If you heart was a house, a quiet home by the shore
Then I’m a fucking tidal wave coming down the hall
A deadweight soul - no love, no home
I’ve got hell and high water scattered on the floor
And there’s wolves in the halls, at the doors, in the walls
When I was young I was told never to answer the devil’s calls
But there’s no beauty in the world, and I despise it all
So sever your family ties
There’s cancer in the bloodlines
There are monsters in this house, you know
Crawling from every crack and hole
I’ve got lungs that are filled with coal, singing the anthem of a deadweight soul
No love, no home
They say you can see a storm coming from miles away
Well, I haven’t slept in three days, been drinking four years straight
And there’s dark clouds brewing, and it’s starting to rain
Can you feel it swirling offshore, building with every word I say?
I’m not sure that I’ll rest in peace
But at the very least I’ll get some sleep
This anthem goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
