Left - Five Iron Frenzy

Johnny’s got a grip on a blissful life

He sucks on the smoke from the dope in his pipe

Wrapped around his fingers, a noose is loosing slack

Strangling his forearm to fill his veins with smack

P.C.P.

spells gun to the head

Half a syringe or a barrel full of lead

Grasping at straws and coming up empty, Carving with his life

This somber song of hope:

«Kill me.»

Sally spells success M-O-N-E-Y

If she steps on some toes, it’s an eye for an eye

She’s climbing up the ladder, she’s building up a wall

To block out the world or the fear that she’ll fall

Tightrope things, conviction never stops

Money means nothing from a 40 floor drop

Her security blanket has worn itself thin

She’s hanging in the closet from a rope of her own sin

Nothing changes, nothing will

Always skeptic, primed for the kill

Seeking nothing but selfish gain

Filling your pockets again and again

Selling your soul, taking your fill

Grasping at straws, feeding your own will

Killing your conscience, empty, bereft

Losing your life for the world, you are left alone

Some throw bricks through windows and yell

Others beat their backs for fear of hell

Two-edged sword that cuts flesh to the joints

The path is narrow, you missed the point

Fistful of sand a pitiful prize

You’re blinding yourself, closing your eyes

The point was made eons ago

Chaff on the wind, your life’s gonna blow

Nothing you do, nothing can be new

What is good?

What is true?

Seeking to serve not ourselves, never

The Lord is God, we will live forever
