Purgatory Lyrics by Briggs

Sheplife

2014

[Verse 1]
All the wounds you earn
Will always heal with time
But soon you learn
They can heal with the bullet inside
And ya hardly blind
But ya missin' the sight
Ya missin' that smile
Missin' that hug
And missin' that cry
Hard to push aside
When you're full of that pride
You wanna be right
But ain't no body ever winning that fight
Cut down to size
When you're cutting those ties
Convince yourself
Look in the mirror
Believe those lies

[Pre-Hook]
Nah, Nah, Nah, Fuck That, Nah
(Let it go)
Nah, Nah, Nah, Fuck That, Nah
(Let it go, go)

[Verse 2]
We carry our demons
We carry our beatings
We carry our dead to earth
And send em back to the dreaming
Yeah I drank a bit of purp
Till my head felt heavy like
No sleep
Felt that every night
Up late
Think about better times
You need to get up
And get to lookin' after yourself, brother
You need to get up
And get to lookin' after your health, brother
Feelin' that hurt
But I didn't give a fuck
Had it all in my hands
But I couldn't get a hold and I didn't give enough

[Pre-Hook]
Nah, Nah, Nah, Fuck That, Nah
(Let it go)
Nah, Nah, Nah, Fuck That, Nah
(Let it go, go)

[Hook] x2
You can't have it all
Tryna get what ya want
This fish too big for the pond
And I know that I'm wrong
But when I step on stage, I'm a god
I hold down where for I'm from
Whether I'm there or not
Whether they care or not
Until I'm dead and gone
I do it for my little world
For my little girl
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than you
It's even bigger than her
It's more than a song
It's more than a scene
It's more than you want
It's more than you need

[Verse 3]
Always Was
Always Will be
If I gotta stay here
You might as well kill me
Barrel in my mouth
My thoughts on a wall
Buildings burn, oceans rise, empires fall
Everything comes to an end
How many foes back then?
How many of those were quick to pose
While you’re making ends?
Pats on the back
While they chat to their friends
Scared of the crown
Coz they’ll lose their heads
(Cock suckers)

[Hook] x2
You can't have it all
Tryna get what ya want
This fish too big for the pond
And I know that I'm wrong
But when I step on stage, I'm a god
I hold down where for I'm from
Whether I'm there or not
Whether they care or not
Until I'm dead and gone
I do it for my little world
For my little girl
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than you
It's even bigger than her
It's more than a song
It's more than a scene
It's more than you want
It's more than you need

[Outro] x2
We all make mistakes
Don't let 'em define you
Because the snakes in wait
They sneak up behind you
