Black and Gold - Time

Coffee before work, a little liquor after

Routine and cope, it’s all disguised by laughter

His generation built guilt, Chevys and wealth

My generation can’t talk about nothing but itself

You can’t make wine from the grapes of wrath

Only choke on the dust from your families past

I know the right answers, but I don’t believe them

I got goals, but I’m afraid to achieve them

I wanna be the scarecrow that scares the eagle

But I’m too scared of opinions by people

The best ideas don’t survive, they get buried alive

Regret was his bride cause he married a lie

The geese were flying in a V for vanish down south

As the big dipper poured stars and champagne in my mouth

He had empty bottles to go with his promises

I filled em all with messages just for the piranha’s lips

Coffee to wake up, beer to go to sleep

We work all day then we try to eat

When i was young i had a Michael Jackson glove

Some people can’t walk so they use addiction as a crutch

We used to share laughter, now we share coffee and silence

I never knew not talking or fighting could be so violent

Alcohol’s the anesthesia, life is the surgery

Addiction is the assistant trying to murder me

He tried to drown his sorrows but they learned to swim

Caffeine and nicotine, liquor’s got a lot of friends

In a town called obsession that was built by dependence

The population’s jonesing cause there’s no one to defend it

Enslavement is chain-less, when your master’s a a habit

Anger and withdrawal comes when you can’t have it

Coffee and beer I used to think they were nasty

I never knew when i got older they would catch me

When i grew up I realized it wasn’t about the taste

But in all actuality it was the problems they erased

Coffee to wake up, beer to go to sleep

We work all day then we try to eat
