Muddy

Can't get enough even when you try hard.

It's been a long time living through hard times

To keep my nose above water

and my feet running through the thick mud

I have to forget that I'm getting old

with nothing to fold in my pockets

I try hard but never get enough

Learning on the way, every day

She's watching me as she leaves out the door

I'm torn, my heart a heavy brick because of my dick

-

 I can always come up with a lie

And yes a new life pretending with deception as my wife

Either way, everyone plays the life lame game

When it's all over, it doesn't matter to all the mad hatters

I think I need to change my dear, you hear

And one day I'll be right

Cause I'm tired of being wrong, singing sad songs

But again I'll shoot away, rolling dice

-

 Sometimes I want to burn this world

just for an evening

But I'll be alone again in the ashes

with my reflection as my friend

That fucker smiles while I trudge in the mud

-

 He's my only friend

who buys me lies

to start new lives

While treading in mud
