Sweet Boy

Lately only one thing's been on my mind
To breathe some life into my nights
After long days of digging graves
To get another bag
I took a hit, it's been a long drag
Slipped another two steps back, so
I sell my soul
Cause I don't really need it
Just to save up
Or to get by
For a sick fit
And a slick whip
When I'm penny pinching
When I'm bone dry

Too stoned to whet my appetite
And smooth out my edges
Putting up a wall
Smoking up a check
Cutting loose ends
Breaking
Cursing old friends underneath my breath
And shatter when I feel the pressure
It's a lesson telling me to try
To get my shit together
Put my hands together

So I prayed for the end today
Shouted my name
Into the void, offered my voice
An arm and a leg
My heart and my head

I prayed for the end today

You seem to know exactly who I need to be
But you only speak and never see
Spitting fumes until I never want to breathe again
I'm choking up
You shut me down

Sleeping on my dreams to get a meal
Drawn by the limbs
Spread to thin
Telling people that I love what they want to hear
I can't let nobody see that I'm skipping beats
That my heart is weak

I'm lost and afraid
Been dancing for rain
Chasing the pain again

So I prayed for the end today
Shouted my name into the void
Offered my voice
An arm and a leg
My heart and my head

I prayed for the end today

So I prayed for the end today
Shouted my name into the void
Offered my voice
An arm and a leg
My heart and my head

I've been beaten and broken down
Don't pray for me now
Don't you pray for me now
Pray for me
