The Cousin Of Death Lyrics

Everything and nothing on my mind today

My head is on the pillow but I'm wide awake

The words behind my lips are more than I can say

When everything's coming up broken

This morning I woke up at four:30 a.m

By the grace of something that felt like a God but hates men

I thought I must have been the only person left

Rest of world vaporized by pain and serpents breath

It's all quiet and the streets are calm

Slip on my slippers and my crown of thorns and bleed from palms

I hang up on the cross and go to bed for good in a past life

But this life I didn't sleep a fucking wink last night

Or the one before, or the one before, or the one before that

Bags affixed to eyes and ego affixed to doormat

The Irwin family's out saving the roos and wallabies

With both hands tied behind their back and I can't even fall asleep

Got no type of time or energy to deal with flirty women

Just tell me what you want, last night I only slept for thirty minutes

So fuck off or come dirty linens

I only got like 20 bucks to my name and it's not earning interest

Everything and nothing on my mind today

My head is on the pillow but I'm wide awake

The words behind my lips are more than I can say

When everything's coming up broken

Feel like I can hear the reaper calling me

It's funny cause I still can't even fall asleep

Like a Bonaparte, or a hundred thousand hearts

You know everything's coming up broken

Man I tried counting sheep, deer, snakes, badgers, sasquatches and ostriches

Coffee mugs, slot machines, perfumerie, lost riches

Blades of grass, grains of rice, mutsubi, and rocketships

Had sleep studies done at community colleges

I've had dreams of royalty, middle earths and willows weeping

But I never seem to have one of these dreams while sleeping

Eyes open and head steaming, get up out the bed

Take another shot of Jack to try to get up out my head

Cut myself and throw up all my food before I digest

Pluck out both my eyes but that's beside the point, I digress

Had my share of trazodones, ceraquils and ambiens

Oxycotins, doctors office, police cars and ambulance

Flies buzzing and meth, wide guzzling breadth

Tried to reinvent myself anew as something that's fresh

I can say"I love you" with a mother's breath

But I can't sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death

Everything and nothing on my mind today

My head is on the pillow but I'm wide awake

The words behind my lips are more than I can say

When everything's coming up broken

Feel like I can hear the reaper calling me

It's funny cause I still can't even fall asleep

Like a Bonaparte, or a hundred thousand hearts

You know everything's coming up broken
