These roots they reach the stars Grasp them till they choke an sputter A thought lost in smoke ****** into a gutter Ramble an stumble an mutter words blacker Drink myself into a stupor smoke till I stutter No paint just dark markers caught in the shutter More cash than my peers in a broke down car Soar higher crash harder watch the flys flutter Chase after ethereal means forget brick and mortar Turn to the cinders and remember the liars Careless benders surrounded by adders Danger grows as wallets get lighter Might **** a man for a tenner These branches get thinner every year Every year the trees grow sicker
