lyrics

It's a sorry sight, an empty lake
no fish no boats no summer break
not a thing to do but sit and wait
for an act of god or a drop of rain
when an empty hole thinks it's a lake

I walked back and fourth through an open door
I gave you everything you wanted and a whole lot more
but putting up with me became a chore
when you found rock bottom was below the floor
hate to say it darlin, but you alway's were a fucking bore

Yeah I know that I
kick around my feelings when I'm feeling down
I paint em then I scream em real quick real loud
so what if they get me into trouble
because when I'm in a pinch they get me out

Seems like everyone I meet has some spiritual advice
being one with the universe, well, it must be nice
but I'd rather grapple demons and lose the fight
then play tricks on myself to get through life

Evil Black:

You've been left out in the cold
wrapped up in your superstitions
you don't know what you've been missing
if you were there, you'd know
life is much more sweet in person
except for those that you've been hurting

Buried right up to your lips in mud and shit
you couldn't even tell me what the difference is
your money earned is money spent
a few more years of recompense
and you might start to put a dent
in every check your mouth has written
after that I say good riddance

cause I can't see what I'm not shown
But you can't preach what you don't know

When I went right
you said no
when I got high
well you got low
if it ever made sense
well it don't no more
when you said stay
well I had to go

When you sat tight
I hit the open road
drove through the night
then I put it in a song
if it ever made sense
well it don't no more
when you said stay
well I had to go
