Cold Alleyway

It's so dam cold outside that I can see my own breath I just know tonight is the night that I'll meet death On the other side of town we shoot dice Underneath the moonlight making love to greed out of spite Strangers faces in the alleyways they waiting just to put a blade right between my aces It's a flush it's a bluff we goin all in on my soul and its rough Coming through the backdoor and someone's getting snuffed Blood stains on the cuffs of my dress shirt Grim reaper doesnt need to put in effort Hard life on these streets was my teacher Now she in a strip club working for some cheddar Drink the pain away mouth drier than a desert Severed From the days of warmer weather We just stay tethered to the inside of the bar cause it's always raining right out there Always struggling We are crumbling every night Standing strong we don't face the light Standing strong we don't fear the high Always struggling We are crumbling every night Standing strong we don't face the light Standing strong we don't fear the high Intoxicated, I'm running out of dimes, I ain't payin' About to ruin my stomach, I only need one step to climb My ass ain't paying another fine Even though I'm currently planning another money heist To keep the jukebox alive, to keep me alive for a while 'Cause I can't balance with the amount of twenty five, so I'mma take a walk with the man and his scythe No, you don't understand it, 'cause he's the only one I know Who understands me the best Maybe I really need to take me some rest I can't barely get along with the lights on the alleyways Please get out of my face That's what my wife told me after she broke up Looking at her eyes with a whiskey bottle, lookin' like a drunk fuck This might be the last sip on earth, bottoms up Maybe this is what I deserve, tough luck Always struggling We are crumbling every night Standing strong we don't face the light Standing strong we don't fear the high Always struggling We are crumbling every night Standing strong we don't face the light Standing strong we don't fear the high Fuck Its so cold outside Running in the street, I'm afraid of all these looks I feel like a walking circus being judged and watched In a state of panic, my mind ticking like a watch I don't know what I'm running away from anymore. Head down, running out of breath, passing out In a forest in the middle of nowhere Sittin in a corner the lights are all mixed together Im a toy under the control of my stress And I cannot contain it or suppress it I am a mess I advise you to be scared I advise you to regret I advise you to behave I advise you to forget Ill beat the shit of your soul You will just look like a fool Now its time to think smart Take you chance and run away Otherwise this night will end In a giant blood bath full-filled with gun shells Always struggling We are crumbling every night Standing strong we don't face the light Standing strong we don't fear the high Always struggling We are crumbling every night Standing strong we don't face the light Standing strong we don't fear the high
