Cuts dig in Deep within Life begins With a knife Breathe again Nauseous grin Fading in On my life Good as new Baby blue Scar tissue is buried deep within to where it my life begins it traces all of the sins a families origins genetic tradition repeats again Bandages Bloody bin Honing in On the fight Just one step And a thousand left Convalesce With all my might Scratch and claw then crawl Build your strength then fall Time is not time Time unwinds as pain begins to comfort you Medicinal haze days fade Dopesick preferred to pain Take two times a day and you'll mend and then just repeating again and then just repeating again All well and good Not out of the woods Nightmares haunting every night Nostalgic for my daily life Visions of the old routine Blessings once gone unforeseen Bed sores serve as interlude To let perverse ideas get though A childhood home is set ablaze Modern life in an antique frame Daily dose of Ipecac To keep things moving right on track Clear the throat and clear the head The bone is set dignity's shed Night sweats greet the roosters call Wisher’s well come one come all Prescriptions count the days that pass A single fork along this path All well and good Still in the woods Self inflicted pain To build a brighter hull to sustain me Set sail for brighter days The aches of the past now scars to remind me Pill takes the pain away And then just more of the same Time heals all wounds they say The stronger the tick the slower the fade Pill takes the pain away Yet every dose leads to decay Time heals all wounds they say The stronger the tick the slower the fade Slowing loss is a gain A chance to see around distant corners To easy to wait and lay blame Time to cover chinks in the armor Pill takes the pain away And then just more of the same Time heals all wounds they say The stronger the tick the slower the fade Pill takes the pain away Yet every dose leads to decay Time heals all wounds they say The stronger the tick the slower the fade Slowing the fade... Dignity rising again I’m back from the dead Been prodded and poked but now I’m back on the mend Body is fit again and I’m right in the head Sitting still long enough now the living begins Blood Blood in blood out Blood Prick skin bleed out Blood Break bread devout Questioning what? I had the answers before No guarantees left and no future assured Rebuilding myself through fractures and through the gore Battles commenced and now I’m ready for war Blood Blood in blood out Blood Prick skin bleed out Blood Break bread devout
