lyrics

Bloody Shoelaces

Bridge:
There’s no smoking
in the emergency room
I’m always at funerals
When you were alive
I sympathize over days gone by
Am I close enough To hear the truth
Gashes from the glass
Was it fun? The abuse?
Mustang fast till we crashed
Who loves you?
Enough not to walk away
Friends Forgive
The dead don’t forget
How I let you down
couldn’t help myself
do you intervene
When you interviewed
for the same misery
Mention me in your memoirs
as a confidant

Chorus:
Bloody shoelaces
Got me tied up in these
guilty knots
No remedy for dead friends
I miss you lots

Verse 1:
bullets in the chamber
looking away same as if
The trigger got pulled
Targets always the good
Believed to be bulletproof
Let faith choose
Bowing a sad tune
Killed the fiddler on the roof

Bridge:
no smoking
in the emergency room
I’m always at funerals
When you were alive
I sympathize over days gone by
Am I close enough To hear the truth
Gashes from the glass
Was it fun? The abuse?

Verse 2:
Alone with this rhyme I wrote
Sounds cold how I ignore the phone
Only heard from
When words mourn
Dead friends gone
glimpses from beyond
Giving you the day and the hour
Temptation to do wrong
Hypertension stroke your gone
still a young man To old
playing a game of chance
How we use to laugh
cries stifling still won’t stop
Ya moms slapped me
In the funeral parking lot
From hopscotch to powder nights
Try being your brothers keeper
reapers mistress On my face
Hells an acquired taste

Chorus:
Bloody shoelaces
Got me tied up in these
guilty knots
No remedy for dead friends
I miss you lots

Verse: 3
Something bout gravel on a grave
First prick of the needle
first bullet graze
Defying dying
dining on danger
Dark is the night
Before the white light enters

Bridge:
no smoking
in the emergency room
I’m always at funerals
When you were alive
I sympathize over days gone by

End.
