Ghost town

Chorus:

Write to get my fucking feelings wrote down
At this hour, any town would be a ghost town
At this hour, whether drunk or sober
My head still rings, it’s over
Over
All my life, I been the one they spoke down too
Different ways of coping from the ghost town too
Everybody suffering, it’s your town too
So am I just weak or something?

Verse 1:

It’s all a masculine facade, we don’t let shit get to us
Our only escape’s a state line or an exit up
Macho posturing, feeble attempt at maskin
Guns, girls, trucks, country pride’s our distraction
Our veins run the same red, that’s right
But when your collars bluе, your eyes ain’t white
Thеy stay bloodshot from the hours that you work
They stay bloodshot from the marijuana burns
Drugs are our comfort, drugs are the escape
Don’t let one fucking drop of shit waste
Stand up straight, son, know your place
That blood in your mouth, tell me, how does it taste?

Chorus:

Write to get my fucking feelings wrote down
At this hour, any town would be a ghost town
At this hour, whether drunk or sober
My head still rings, it’s over
Over (Ghost town)
All my life, I been the one they spoke down too
Different ways of coping from the ghost town too
Everybody suffering, it’s your town too (Ghost town)
So am I just weak or something?

Verse 2:

I known kids who got murdered this year
Fucking surrounded by death, Angels burning this year
Kids younger then me left gone, I fear
That the ones I love gonna follow, sincerely
I don’t know if it’s age and me now being aware
But I can almost fucking taste Death’s presence in the air
It’s like he lives in every corner, every sentence, every head lowered
Wish that I could know fate, but I can’t know her
You ever had to save a girl from ODing?
That’s a fucking Tuesday around here
I’ll be sincere, crystal clear
At any hour, it’s a fucking ghost town round here
