Crescent Moon - Simmer lyrics

[Verse 1] By the time they seen the light All you heard was sirens blaring bright Neighbors staring right at the mess Feel the fahrenheit Rising like the tide when the moon's pulling puppet strings Cut the links that bind us to all our earthly suffering Shadows paint a grimace on the witness Now if he talks he might not walk But if he don't then that's his business All the facts have been distorted All that's certain is the smoking gun The ceiling swings in the circles And the windows here won't open none The smoke around my head looks like treble clefs I lost the level step Now go to Hell until the Devil's left The kettle kept me up Always screaming from the blue flame Digging in ditches, dumpsters Dying for a new name Who changed the locks Don't even recognize the building The figures on the walls are hallways of hungry children Got nothing for ‘em Don't got a penny for a peddler They only smoke screens I'm looking for a dust settler Picking apart the pieces of the puzzle To relieve the inner struggle Even leeches in the puddle know to leave the trouble alone Who's knocking on my telephone? How many dial tones will convince you that I ain't home? [Chorus] Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Now you lost in the center of the temper and temperature Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Now you caught between the temper and temperature [Verse 2] Tell me who to pray to Who's supposed to save you? There's nothing to escape from Nowhere to escape to The moment that i came to they asked me where i came from Pointed to the blank sky Couldn't speak the same tongue Name one night that didn't end in mourning The storm brings hope but never gives warning Ain't enough police tape to cover up this mess No matter how you frame it we're just decorating shipwrecks Ingest a hard pill to swallow Filled with shards of the bottle Tip the jar Let the scars fill your hollow The soldiers walked in Should've seen the clock spin We covered up our ears 'cause poisoned mouths Talk sin-sation temptress Offensive to the senses Now who would ever guess you'd be imprisoned by a sentence? Before i spoke i filled the room with smoke to cleanse it Conjured the wrong ghosts Had 'em begging me to end it Begging me for friendship Begging me for rations I told them i'm a fraud, a freeloader and a has-been Alone Who's knocking on my telephone? How many dial tones will convince you that i ain't home? [Chorus] Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Now you lost in the center of the temper and the temperature Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer Let the bad blood simmer You lost in the center of the temper and the temperature
