Off With It
Right now I've got time, time to take
Down and out but I rarely break
Piece myself back together when my seams betray
I've got my reasons but can't really say
Dropped my lucky pennies in a wishing well
Watched em twirl and twist like they were free, till they fell
That's a lot like you and me, do you agree?
Or we can fight like we use to
Remember the punches pulled?
Well you can let em loose
December's around the corner but
This hearts been cold since June
They say your body is a temple
Mine's trash; tattoos
Too many years of whiskey and abuse
These days it's Mary Jane just to get me through
One moment I don't wanna lose my head
The next I'm mumbling 'Off with it'
Left my heart on a sleeve from a tee
Out to dry in a hurricane
Watched it blow away
Never did catch her name
So now my soul is old
From pulling both their weight
Please forgive the way I come off
It's been one of those days
Pretty sure tomorrow
Brings more of the same
Under cover of the night my
sanity creeps out
I'm like, 'Man, where were you in times of doubt?
Keeping brave company while I thrash about?'
Reaching out a hand while I drown with only rocks to pull me out
So I made myself stone, skin to bone
Stood right up and took my throw
Now I'm sunk beneath these waves
Flashes of my life, watch me rush to my grave
While fearing death all the way
Feel on trial inside my brain
Never switched my ways
Stayed in my lane
So why do I feel insane today?
Will tomorrow bring more of the same?
One moment I don't wanna lose my head
The next I'm mumbling 'Off with it'
Left my heart on a sleeve from a tee
Out to dry in a hurricane
Watched it blow away
Never did catch her name
So now my soul is old
From pulling both their weight
Please forgive the way I come off
It's been one of those days
Pretty sure tomorrow
Brings more of the same
Puff, puff, pass it before I lose my way
THC the only thing that keeps me straight
When all the voices whisper ‘I know a better way’
Let the rage tear the page, add a match now bridges blazed
Sorry for the flames me and my demons be getting crazy
It’s a battle daily to make sure the devil doesn’t take me
Aviators for the haters they don’t phase me
Won’t let my mistakes make or break me
One moment I don't wanna lose my head
The next I'm mumbling 'Off with it'
Left my heart on a sleeve from a tee
Out to dry in a hurricane
Watched it blow away
Never did catch her name
So now my soul is old
From pulling both their weight
Please forgive the way I come off
It's been one of those days
Pretty sure tomorrow
Brings more of the same
