Blackbirds (Bonus Track)

Drop like, "Get up," and take to the streets

Better lock that kid up, face full of teeth

When he hock that spit up, pacing the beat like a beast

Rockin' your block on repeat

Speak from the cut like a rush of blood

Paint red on the sleeves of the ones you love

Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring

Put pennies on the eyes, let the dead men sing

I shiver and shake the warm air cold, I'm alone, on my own

In every mistake, I dig this hole through my skin and bones

It's harder starting over than never to have changed

With blackbirds following me

I'm digging out my grave

They close in, swallowing me

The pain, it comes in waves

I'm getting back what I gave

I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades, as I waste away

It traps me inside mistakes I've made, that's the price I pay

It's harder starting over than never to have changed

With blackbirds following me

I'm digging out my grave

They close in, swallowing me

The pain, it comes in waves (Yeah)

I'm getting back what I gave

I dropped to the floor like I did before

Stopwatch and I'm coughing, I can't be more

What I want and what I need are at constant war

Like a well full of poison, a rotten core

The blood goes thin, the fever stings

And I shake from the Hell that the habits bring

Lay the sick ones down, the bells will ring

Put pennies on the eyes, let the dead men sing

Blackbirds following me

I'm digging out my grave

They close in, swallowing me

The pain, it comes in waves

I'm getting back what I gave

I'm getting back what I gave

I'm getting back what I gave
