🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

Listen, I'll be as honest as I feel
I feel like I'm getting more paranoid and I'm hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It's just so heavy all the time
I'm scared of death
And I'm scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust
I'm a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving.
 
I wanna drink until I'm broken
Then just see what kind of shit we get in
I cried no, no, no, no
You gotta put up a fight, all right
If the freedom doesn't kill you
Well then man, I think the politics might
 
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady mercy won't be home tonight yeah

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the Hammer To Fall

Oh ev'ry night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the western way
Build your muscles as your body decays yeah

Toe your line and play their game yeah
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the Hammer To Fall

Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no)

Lock your door the rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your struggle's all in vain

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While your waiting for the hammer to
Hammer To Fall

It's gonna fall
Hammer, you know, Hammer To Fall

While you're waiting for the Hammer To Fall

Give it to me one more time
 
If I was just a lie to you
Well, you were less than that to me
(And if I was the fool, then what does that make you?)
Never loved you a little
Loved you a little
Tell me who you were falling for
When we were lying on the floor
Never loved you a little
Loved you a little
 
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
 
In this great abyss
Of just what might have been
Where we can take a seat at the bar with the other broken heroes
 
Dancing this phantom up
And down my spine
Have mercy on the devil
He's a friend of mine
Sometimes sometimes sometimes
We are living this suicide
If god looked upon us
It would surely leave us blind
Surely leave us blind
This living is suicide
Living is suicide
 
I know you’re tired. I am too…but we still have such a long way to go 😮‍💨

🎶 I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I've been running
Ever since

It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky

It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will

I go to the movie
And I go downtown
And somebody keep telling me
"Don't hang around"

It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will

Then, I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, oh

There been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able
To carry on

It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will 🎶
 
I battle with depression, but the question still remains
Is this post-traumatic stressing or am I suppressing rage?
And my doctor tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase
Yeah, it's not a fucking phase, I just wanna feel okay, okay?
Yeah, I struggle with this bullshit every day
And it's probably 'cause my demons simultaneously rage
It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me
'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
I'm a popular, popular monster
I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
I'm a popular, popular monster
 
Sometimes before it gets better
The darkness gets bigger
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger
 
And we would talk about those midget submarines
And we would talk about that needle in between
And we would talk about those punk rock magazines
And we would talk about those plastic tambourines
And we would talk all night
Tryna make the world alright
You'd never make that world okay
But we would make our world okay
 
Danger Slow says the sign ahead
Exhaust fumes, Thin Lizzy instead
Left all pressing cares along the road
Fifteen keys, but where do they go
 
Well so long to the so-so years
Of river mouths and chandeliers
Morning crews that make me yawn
I hold my heave until I'm gone
I cock an ear and crack a smile
Last in line and single file
The only ones standing at this speech
Are the ones with the brooms and the mops and the keys
 
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
 
I got no job I got no money got no self esteem
I take a Xanax every morning for anxiety
I take a beer and take another then I'm gonna call her
I'll probably end up fuckin' up and makin' it feel awkward
 
I don't know what the world may need
And I'll never grasp your complexities
I'd be happy just to get your attention
I don't know what the world may want
But your long sweet body lying next to mine
Could certainly raise my spirits
'Cause what the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
 
At night I drink myself to sleep
Pretend I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
 
I don't know Euphoria
Would like to meet her
Someday, c'est la vie

I don't feel Hysteria
She leaves me lonely
C'est la, C'est la vie
 
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
 
You’ll be happy in a little while
You’ll be happy in a little while (So they tell ya)
You’ll be happier in a little while (So they tell ya)
You’ll be happier in a little while (Oh they tell ya)
You’ll be happier in a little while
It’s just a matter of time
 
Ancient highways, desert dust, diamond lit sky
Like some lost planet, never breathes any life
And barely moving, broken ears bend and crawl
Talk to where you're stuck in and I won't cease until dawn
Wake me up when you can hear
The sound of people getting near
Where what's dead come alive
And there's a long and lonely ride
