Def Cons Lyrics by Codefendants

This is Crime Wave

0

Open this vein like an old, cold razor blade
Survival isn't pretty; it's flesh hanging off of fangs
Hard not to bite the hand when it's all that's left to eat
Strip the meat off every finger that's ever gotten close to me

Try to sniff some air before the plane crashes back down
There'll be hell to pay. The rates are low, hurry right now
You can always just shoot yourself in the face

Without problems, you never learn your lessons
Somеtimes the struggle could bring answеrs to your questions
It's a long, cold road. Never let 'em break you

Rabbit foot on a keychain, fifth against my lips
Red and blue lights dance in the rearview
With the day's last cigarette
Been a thousand agonizing hours
Since I felt the weight of a full breath
Heavily self-medicated to forget we even met
It's a couple hundred miles to the pits of Cincinnati, Ohio
Wanna die in a cheap suit scared of heights
Driving with my eyes closed
Baby, this is Babylon, tag long
Maybe we can sing some sad songs
And pretend there's nothing wrong, pretty clear we don't belong
Been defeated since I was teething
But I walked away from the beatings
Many days were spent paper chasing or wasting away
Our breathing to calm the demons
Found all I ever need. For some reason I'll keep on seeking
Never satisfied with anything in life
So, it's fight or flight until the day I die

Try to sniff some air before the plane crashes back down
(I promise you it will crash any second now)
There'll be hell to pay. The rates are low, hurry right now
(And hell is hot but life is cold, I'm going down)
You can always just shoot yourself in the face


Without problems, you never learn your lessons
Sometimes the struggle could bring answers to your questions
It's a long, cold road. Never let 'em break you
Keep going. Never let 'em break you
