Going Back To Rehab
I'm going there to give 'em cash, hear 'em laugh bring 'em back If i cant tear down these walls I'll slip 'em through the cracks. If that crack ain't big enough, I'm sick enough to get committed, Where he's been I ain't been, allowed to visit, and I miss him. They put me in a submission hold, got him living in a hole. Give me the rope, pull it back, cut him slack he's getting old. This cold does nothing for his brittle bones..he's shaking. Always put on hold that prison phone's always taken They put me on a speaker but my voice is breaking up. I'd like to think he caught bits and pieces before the gates got shut RAISE IT UP Somebody cover me, I'm going in, with razor cuts, and something ugly that I know within Can't afford the luxury of exposing everything, but I've been doing the best that I can. I take it day by day, just one step at a time, and I don't need a sobriety test to walk the line Walking on this tightrope with arms open wide, hoping to find you live and well on the other side So I could give you this gift as a symbol When I felt the rope loosen, I knew i missed my window He really did love you, you know.. pat pat..I said 'Get your fucking hands off my back' This is my passage into adulthood and I need not Small talk fingers fishing from a weak spot---i used to dream alot In search for meaning in a sleepwalk The only time I find myself having a deep talk But now I never sleep 'cause sleep is the cousin of death One can never rest depending on how up the drugs get Upset, submit me to a bloodtest Find no trace of my words reverting back to...wait, that wasnt what I meant SongtexteMy right eye is sunrise, the left is sunset, the moonshine ain't got me drunk yet My tounge's wet for the lunar eclipse, and when youre flat broke ain't nothing you wont do for a fix It's a beautiful mix of Jesus-Juice from my lips And words that are stuck so I stirred 'em up with a crucifix And this is where I found a friend in Christ I also found a few spikes and I decided to use them as pegs on my bike So you could have a place to ride when I broke you out of that vice And now im going back to rehab. I'm going back to rehab...back to back..going back to rehab...I dont drink though I'm going back as a dead again Christian, with a medicine prescription, the other friend of Bill ..let let let me in Get me outta this Hooked up to plugs and wires while dogs sniff for a powdered substance In a town of judgements with glass house development Cookie-cutter Republican school-book intelligence They aint never considered how just one rock, could crack the whole facade now they call the ski slingshots I will not meditate on the sermon Heaven's gate is burning so we self-medicate with bourbon While their collection players turn into a person I've turned into a second rate person, but I'm not the first This isnt your typical cry for help I tried to melt, but someone stopped the trickling with a bible belt Reminded me of tourniquets and heroin nods Now that, that right there, that's one hell of a God You cant match magic with an addict thats got a mapping compass In order to find a substance and match dick that functions A searching and fearless immoral inventory 'Til every person with a story begins to bore me I did what i had to do to get To the place where your face wasnt such a blurry mess I took all our favorite promises and dreams that we kept, You werent hard to find, all it took was 13 steps Aus Songtexte Mania
