Prolyphic and Reanimator - Born Alone lyrics

[Verse 1] I've got this paper thin soul That crinkles and folds when the wind blows I take care of myself Maybe everything else's so simple like How it used to be Can it be? I'm skin and bones And everything I touch isn't gold It turns to sh** on my soles That I pick up when I walk down memory lane I find myself crossing out every name 'cause another Bites the dust Fighting the rush Like life wasn't tough enough The things you do out of spite and love Buried in mud and cleaned it up with a soapbox I found ways in my waves goodbye To make the boat rock f** the hopes and hope nots 'Cause it turns in my stomach You said go hide And close my eyes And count to a hundred Well... I stopped at twenty-three when I realized the joke Wiped my tears with this blindfold And just kept my eyes closed The waves stop until my hands turn ice cold This nice guy writes verse and likes to be alone And I Write my verse But not like poems And I Throw my two cents at birds But not like stones I tuck my soul in my socks And hide my heart in my pockets Born alone, die alone's the only thing you're promised [Chorus x3] Born alone Born alone Born alone Born alone Die alone Die alone Die alone Die alone [Verse 2] 'Cause it's a sh**ty thing to say And a sad way to think So I write inside this pad Until my pen runs out of black ink Spilling my soul Until I run out of things to say 'Cause sometimes how I feel Ain't the right thing to say The truth stings when it's swung like a sling-blade The beautiful strokes The ugly inks on this page. It's like Serving what's in your heart Sold on a cold dish It's cliche to say it's therapeutic But I know it is I'll show you What's cupped in my hands And at the pit of my stomach Until you understand where I'm coming from And it's what's Keeping my going on beat And on my feet And knowing someone's out there listening I'm reaching out to no one I'm just trying to make a living Not fame or the woman Just throwing my two cents in the pot Everyone's pissing in It doesn't need to be like this I want you to know I hope you're there by my side When it's my time to go [Chorus x3]
