Safe house

lyricscopy.com
I´m climbing out of the hole that I´ve been digging
Throwing out all the blue prints I have drawn up for the safe house
I stashed away enough food for forty days, gallons of water, first aid, and propane,
And some wine to entertain
I´m always planning for the worst
I signed my will right after birth
I´ve got my eulogy rehearsed
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray?
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
I´m pulling nails out from the coffin
I´m gasping for air
My eyes are full just like the moon
I´ve got a silver bullet stare
The holy grail that I once thought
Was fiction but the fact is that it´s not
In communion with my thoughts
The vultures circle overhead
Hanging like halos for the dead
But I´m not suited for one yet
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
I´m a number in a lottery
Life´s a boardwalk game god rigged to cheat
As the snow falls all along the peaks
My minds an avalanche I´m digging through to reach
All the things I´ve tried to shove down deep
My minds an avalanche I´m digging through to reach
If I could run, but with its speed
I´m bound to be buried here underneath
A tidal wave triggered to teach
That life on an island isn´t what it seems
I´m cutting off my toes just so that I can spite my feet
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
Throwing out all the blue prints I have drawn up for the safe house
I stashed away enough food for forty days, gallons of water, first aid, and propane,
And some wine to entertain
I´m always planning for the worst
I signed my will right after birth
I´ve got my eulogy rehearsed
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray?
Feeling like they forgot me
He had the right name but the wrong street
I´m pulling nails out from the coffin
I´m gasping for air
My eyes are full just like the moon
I´ve got a silver bullet stare
The holy grail that I once thought
Was fiction but the fact is that it´s not
In communion with my thoughts
The vultures circle overhead
Hanging like halos for the dead
But I´m not suited for one yet
I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees
When I think about eternity
Have I been led astray
Feeling like they forgot me
