An Amputation For The Prizefighter Lyrics by Coffin Salesman

Nicrophorus Americanus

2018

There's no need to cry
Once the hammer hits the bone
There are somethings in this world
You gonna need to do on your own
And the doctor he comes with a sly little smile and says
"Son, it's all just a flick of the wrist"
And you try to ignore the phantom pain
But the morphine don't do shit
And now you'll never get to wear the holy crown
And you'll spend the rest of your life just looking down
But the rain falls hard the losing kind/
You fall to your knees but they pay no mind
The fraying ends of the ties that bind
Better kill the pain now. Before it dies
Now your mother sits in her cold apartment
She don't know how she's gonna pay the rent
All that money you earned down the tracks
By now it's long been spent
And you swear you got everything you need
Down by the liquor store
And you're praying so tight for that day
You won't feel this way anymore
And you're cursing god for your broken calibration
While you're standing outside the grand union station
But the rain falls hard the losing kind/
You fall to your knees but they pay no mind
The fraying ends of the ties that bind
Better kill the pain now. Before it dies
Now you keep your head down while you walk down these roads there's a flicker round here
But that debt collector he knows yeah that motherfucker walks around with your pride like a dog on a leash. And you beg everyday in the street but you get no relief
Now moms with their kids they try not to stare and they walk right on by like you ain't even there. And it hurts so bad to be so unprepared, boy running wild or just running scared
And the weight falls the hardest on the tall
Must hurt so bad to feel so small
But that grief in your prodigal mind
These criminal hands and they're criminals minds
You can take it way down the line
What they promised to you they just lied
Now the end of the day is coming in close
And you're walking around like a homecoming ghost
Thinking of paths you shouldn't of chose
Booze on your breath and burnholes in your clothes
Now all through the night, you crawl and you creep
Trying to find a good place to sleep
And you pray but you never rise
Call them up and say goodbye
Yeah for all this wasted
Close your eyes and say goodnight
Close your eyes and say goodnight
They always say to enjoy the ride before you go
Just don't let the bad blood show
