Puzzle (Fletcher Shears)
By the Candlelight
[Intro]
One more mental cavity
[Chorus]
Long, long ago
Past is the past
Give myself a hand
I won’t slip through the cracks
[Verse 1]
Nothings ever black and white
Hiding out in plain sight
I know that it’s not right
Air I breathe is gone tonight
[Verse 2]
Pretty good to meet you
Remember all the things that I put you through
Every single bruise that I left stayed blue
All the deep cuts that I made bled through
All the times I didn’t let you be you
Faking something else
So I wasn’t see-through
Playing man's game
Stuck like glue
Couldn’t break loose
Couldn’t break loose
[Chorus]
Long, long ago
Past is the past
Give myself a hand
I won’t slip through the cracks
[Bridge]
It’s like a shank in the stomach
Seven days a week
Whether I’m awake or asleep
The fall is very steep (Alright)
Take a leap, or you sink
Expand or you shrink
[Verse 3]
It’s hard to see you like this
All full of holes in the soul like swiss
A swing and a miss
I guess I got however long I live to kiss bliss
It's called the American dream 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it
Fuck those people, fuck that shit
[Verse 4]
Yeah, hear that fucking train horn
Wake you up from your sleep
Got you feeling reborn
Yeah, sitting by the candlelight
Day fades into night
Loosing sight like a salamander
Who the fuck are you trying to impress?
Chickens with the heads cut off
Dollar brawlers always looking to oppress
That fancy footwork and finesse
