The Arcitype - Slaine Is Dead lyrics

[Verse 1] I chewed a hole in my soul and I was still starving This f**ing demon in my head is like a drill sergeant f** this EP dawg, you need a real album A deal with 'em Malcolm And a pill problem, again To go and get your face off the milk carton You've been on since you been starting All that sobriety sh** Dieting trying to quit Fighting and hiding out from society sick Come back parting your head to the side and it slit It's so exciting when all the girls are riding your dick Look what your writing, it's falling off a cliff You know the cure for that though Go get an eight ball and a fifth Pour the Jamie, light a smoke, take a whole and a sniff Birthed with the curse and cursed to call it a gift f** the bullsh** talk and all this positiveness Your heart's in the right place, we'll give your jaws an a**ist But lets get back to this madness, back to this money Back to these habits that I have to become me I can almost feel the fire burning back in my stomach Heard the whispers of the public and they practically hung me They said I had a good run, I would fly some Then crash and burn they say the good die young The thought of it made him bang his head It's the word on the street, it's spread That Slaine is dead [Hook] It's been so long, you see my face While I come back to plead my case When I'm gone and time comes to make a leap of faith There's no way to keep the secret safe That Slaine is dead Slaine is dead Slaine is dead They say Slaine is dead [Verse 2] So many dark days they have ruptured my patience I'd like to part ways but I'm stuck in the matrix See I've been out of luck, so corrupted and faithless And now without a buck I'm like f** it I hate this So many close calls, all these brushes with greatness But not enough to power my spaceship Not enough to persuade the gods right and face where they sit As they parade the dogs of war off they cliff And as I fell from grace, through the winds of sin I had to go and find my wings again While the angel of d**h goes and sings the hymn As he strangle my breath, tore me limb from limb Will you let your soul slip to the other side Will the caterpillar turn into the bu*terfly? I can see the pain falling from my mothers eyes But I keep on falling for these f**ing lies Still my mind holding on to the liquor and coke And my fire almost out but there's a flicker of hope In these institution walls where they kickin' the dope I'm reminded of the power of that sh** that I wrote I walk with the devil, talking to God Murder stories in this purgatory, coughing up blood But I will not break, I will not fall This is just another rhyme that I wrote on my wall [Hook] It's been so long, you see my face While I come back to plead my case When I'm gone and time comes to make a leap of faith There's no way to keep the secret safe That Slaine is dead Slaine is dead Slaine is dead They say Slaine is dead Slaine is Dead!
