lyrics

I walk around midnight, 4 in the morning and I cant see the stars
and I watch the streets, red eyes of tail lights, and high beams of nocturnal cars
emotions gripping me
demons no one can see
theres something fucking with my head
the blood in my veins fragments in fantasies
and im like the living dead

possessed by the spirit of jim beam
driven by the devil in jack
my heart beats blood and whiskey
nightmares in red bourbon and black

and im lost all deep and think in thoughts
that are spinning around my head
and razors flash and shine deep inside my mind
as their phantoms dig across my head
and pall malls stain my breath
as I swear ill smoke to death
in a bitter suicide haze
as jimmy and jack they stab me in the back
with a raw emotions truth unphased

and I think to myself, this must be some illusion
my thoughts are trying to kill me
they burn a seiging scorn
as im fucked up and forlorn
and my glass is running half empty
and I watch a man at a bus stop sleeping soundly
hours before the routes begin to run
my thoughts are irratic, my mood is manic
and I cant remember the sun

possessed by the spitit of jim beam ect

and I cant leave my heart burns and grieves
as I cant escape myself
and I just want to erase every haunting trapping trace
of existence from this earth
my voice disappeaers as im clouded and clearly
sinking into a black hole
cause love and loneliness are both things ive kissed
and the later has lingered the most

theres a blue moon overhead
silence stings my ears
my insides are molten lead
and heavy blood fuels my tears

and is it just me
is it pent up sobriety
cause nothings changed at all
perceptions a wrecking ball

possessed by the spirit of jim beam ect

and past and future are riddled with sutures
of which my broken mind bares
I stare across time while eternity unwinds
and im static where I now stand
I look across the blocks no key to unlock
the boxes that cage me in
and all the bricks they start to make me sick
civilization is closing in

and all the cleches are true
darkness abounds
a voided nothingness blankets you
in a feeling profound

and is it just me?
Is this just a bad dream
is anything real
in the ethics of how I feel?

possessed by the spirit of jim beam
