Coping Mechanism - Shovels & Rope[00:00:00]
I've got to find a better coping mechanism[00:00:03]
I'm falling apart disintegrating in the schism[00:00:09]
Is it a show or is it realism[00:00:15]
Lost and found and then I was locked up in a prison[00:00:22]
I better find a more suitable solution[00:00:27]
Before I reach the most predictable conclusion[00:00:33]
To be the victim of my personal delusion[00:00:39]
Just to find that I've been living an illusion[00:00:45]
They say there's just no substitute for the real thing[00:00:52]
The kind of chemical that can make your whole body sing[00:01:00]
You can take the needle and shove it in your vein[00:01:07]
And call it medication to alleviate you pain[00:01:13]
I do my best to keep the confusion to a minimum[00:01:18]
I'll try not to be the monster of the millennium[00:01:24]
Someday they'll thank us for the hell that we was giving 'em[00:01:30]
When all of this time we just hope we were borderline offending 'em[00:01:36]
They say there's just no substitute for the real thing[00:01:43]
The kind of chemical that can make your whole body sing[00:01:51]
Scrub it till you're bleedin but you can't scrub out the stain[00:01:59]
Leave your mouth wide open while you're drowning in the rain[00:02:04]
Put your head down wipe the spit out your eye[00:02:13]
Ain't nobody coming to your poor me parade[00:02:18]
When trouble comes to your door what you ignoring it for[00:02:24]
You'll be standing there helpless when it comes on in[00:02:30]
They say there's just no substitute for the real thing[00:02:36]
The kind of chemical that'll make your whole body sing[00:02:45]
You can test your merit you can show it some restraint[00:02:52]
But in the end you're just a predictable refrain[00:02:57]
Oh ain't nothing like the real thing[00:03:03]
The kind of chemical that'll make your whole body sing[00:03:09]
You can test your merit you can show it some restraint[00:03:16]
But in the end you're just a predictable refrain[00:03:21]
While you're poison in your brain cause you're heart has been mislain[00:03:28]
But you're gonna die just the same for a dream you could not attain[00:03:31]
Cause you drove yourself insane and there's nobody left to blame[00:03:34]
So you just carry on an complain[00:03:37]
Till you forget your name[00:03:39]
