Open Mike Eagle - A Short About A Guy That Dies Every Night lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard some lucky guys live a hundred lives And wake up with a stomach full of half-dead bu*terflies I'm full of dread from the faith of the evening As each nightfall brings the blades of the guillotine Some nights struck down trying to stand on my power Most nights on my belly playing dead like a coward Well I should tighten my muscles legs is frozen Don't speak to eek out a couple extra moments I'm trying to slow my vitals, doing silent breathing The life of an off-beat show during pilot season Execs wanna see who can cancel me the most So fast I never get the chance to be a ghost The lifespan of a house fly traded for an eon in the sand with my mouth dry Give me torture give me terrible marching orders Give me dirty water give me anything except shorter [Hook] Gunned down when it's sun down Murdered in cold blood everyday Don't hope two springs eternal like you don't know I'm about to be gunned down when its sun down About to be choked out by the night If I could just live for more than one day I might be gold [Verse 2] I'm hoping one day that my carca** is hard boiled I'm stuck in the cycle of a cartoon gargoyle And if I live to be 101 days old I go straight up to the sun and get charbroiled But maybe everlasting life is a curse though Eternity is drama making life the commercial But no thirty second advert has enough ? When all the the night vision camera footage is a snuff film Crush to k**, cycle of the sun is built, detroyed I fell on so many swords my stomach's got a keloid I've died on the phone, I've died over e-mail I've died in the silence with the limbs of a tree fell And lived for a brief spell and lose consciousness In the middle of a brief yell Waking in a deep well That started all over when the pendulum drift switch But which two gods birthed this to begin with? [Hook] [Verse 3] Died everyday like the enemies in Power Rangers Up against a homicidal flower stranger I even heard a son growing in the upper wombs Real f**ed up to sit and have to watch the others bloom Born on the train to Auschwitz-Birkenau (?) It's Groundhog's Day, every night is a murder though
