Rock Bottomless - Kill the Vultures

It was a real butcher job how they opened up my flesh

And removed anything that moved in my chest

At best the surgery was just an educated guess

Segregated text documented regulated mess

Classroom watched as they peeled back my stab wounds

Under Fire light, Spanish moss and a black moon

A half-hearted-healer sold me patience for a penny

I was not in the right state to be in this city

Whoever wrote the chapter on the digital disaster

Must’ve smoked up something deadly from the dark side of the pasture

Its captured its cornered don’t feed it or face it forward

Just keep promising tomorrow while today is last weeks order

Feel the fakeness slide through you like drive-thru food do you

Yeah I watched it choke, man, I watched it croak what’s it to you?

Speak up!

My ear’s peaked;

What you got to fear these

Days are full of gear grease peddlers and low end theories

Rock, rock on to rock bottomless

Gangrene metropolis, Mainstream anonymous

Rock, rock on to rock bottomless

Empty out your pockets quick and tell me what the problem is

Rock, rock on to rock bottomless

Just cuz they talk that shit don’t mean you have to swallow it

Extra, extra, the headline will cost you extra

Truth costs even more cheddar;

arm, leg, et cetera, et cetera

Next up the rest of the festival of freaks

Hear Capitol Hill confessions from a vegetable that speaks

Trade your still-beating heart for a pill-eating mule

Than thank the academy for forty acres and a pool

Rise above, look out below when its time to flood

Don’t try to hide the cuts now that the stars are lining up

Boy these times are rough!

Got rich men singing the blues

In front of sold out stadium concerts full of the billionaires they blew

Who knew that the day you agreed to eat a quarter-

It’d rattle like a BB in a tin can and your eyes would roll back out of order

Stagger;

fall back;

fade to black in the corner

The day you sell the former the darkness will be waiting for ya

California breathes gold dust as she slips into unconsciousness

Exhaling fallen idols faster than she finds a god to kiss

Rock, rock on to rock bottomless

Gangrene metropolis, Mainstream anonymous

Rock, rock on to rock bottomless

Empty out your pockets quick and tell me what the problem is

Rock, rock on to rock bottomless

Just cuz they talk that shit don’t mean you have to swallow it
