[Intro: Astronautalis and P.O.S]
[Chorus: Astronautalis and P.O.S]
No calm, no hesitation
No alarms, no self-preservation
Just nerves and ashtrays and on and on
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
No sleep without a**istance
Gotta bash the brain into submission, yeah
Just close the windows and lock the doors
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Verse 1: Astronautalis]
You'll never take me alive but you can try it
I swear there's safety I find laying with lions
My brain is sharpening knives on my silence
[P.O.S] And everybody swears they got a right to know huh?
I'm pounding nails in the oak with some old slag
Shoulda known better than to think they would hold back
I boarded up the windows with fence post slats
[P.O.S] I swear the man took a look inside as he rolled past
I'm raising my flagpole to find my gold 'gats and rag up
(Mmmhmm, Mmmhmm)
I'm wearing my bare feet drinking the Jim Beam from a plastic cup
(Mmmhmm, Mmmhmm)
Of course there's some poison underneath the sink, there's more than enough
(Mmmhmm, Mmmhmm)
Good fences make good neighbors, go ahead friend and call my bluff
[Verse 2: P.O.S]
Ah, Sid Vicious version of "My Way”;
Scary loud, hurtin' 'em, cursing
I'm working the nerves of a little bird
Who told you what? Lies? Right, hah what
Tell 'em I took more and I was often offered less
But went right ahead anyway
Let 'em know that I will not be thrown
And if that's how you gauge your trust, get goin'
Get a lock, get hidden, get smokes, get safe no kiddin'
No jokes, no place for children
No diggin', I swear it
This head seeks yours and you should not explore the depths of it
Just recollect your common sense and run
Period
[Chorus: Astronautalis and P.O.S.] (x2)
