The Whole Damn Town

Said it once, said it a million
It ain't Rome that you've been building
When have you seen your wife and children
Do you even really want to see them?

Your corporate ladders growing taller
And the black trench coat's making an offer
Your stocks are falling now at least you got her
She's a tightened knot and a bourbon shot, and an empty bottle

I tell you man I saw it in your eyes, you never did know how to prioritize
You got yourself a shell but your just Lord of The Flies
I'm burning down the whole damn town to make you realize

Cocaine and booze your breathing fire
Tried to sell your soul but there ain't no buyer
Hearing sounds and spinning 'round like clothes in a dryer
Years of it and an ER trip to cross the wire

I tell you man I saw it in your eyes, you never did know how to prioritize
You got yourself a shell but your just Lord of The Flies
I'm burning down the whole damn town to make you realize

What do you call a man who ain't himself
But pieces of who he was until he got help
Mary Shelly's monster ain't the worst news
Just a broken man they never understood
Just a broken man they never understood
I was a broken man they never understood

I tell you man I saw it in your eyes, you never did know how to prioritize
You got yourself a shell but your just Lord of The Flies
I'm burning down the whole damn town to make you realize
