Spit Shining Shit
I was awake, dreaming about sleeping And my mistakes, and how I keep 'em So close to me, so that I'll never forget, I can't get anywhere Shedding tears over these bottles Celebrating life at the bottom Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten And I've forgotten What this was like before I started stopping Fuck this, I'm out of bullshit to cry about. Pass these ?fuck you?s around. I'll be dead and gone when this shit hits the crowd Tell me why I even tried tonight I should just let it die. And I'm tired of waiting for this shit to shine. I was asleep dreaming about palm trees And I woke up to dirty city streets I heard the voices echoed in the back room And I had to walk around the corner to the barstools Where I was Shedding tears over these bottles Celebrating life at the bottom SongtexteOf the barrel of a barrel so rotten And I've forgotten How to light this fire I've forgotten How to toe this wire I've forgotten What shit was like before I started stopping Tell me why I even tried tonight I should just let it die. And I'm tired of waiting for this shit to shine. I am tired of waiting I am tired of waiting This is my life this is my time It's time to take it Don't let it die. Aus Songtexte Mania
