Where’s Your Kid Now, Sheriff? Lyrics by OK Koala

Coping Mechanisms EP

2018

[Verse 1:]
If I cut my skin and peeled it off my muscles
Would there be someone underneath I like?
If I wore my target in between my shoulders
Would your god raise up a bolt and strike?
If I changed my name
To something more traditional
Would it change the way
Your love seems so conditional?
If my rage won’t save my life
Will my indignation
Raise the asking price?
I give up

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
You’re off somewhere that’s brighter, lighting candles, pulling threads
But I’m just blowing smoke at the stained glass in my head

[Hook 1:]
YEAH!

[Verse 2:]
If I gave my money for your tinted windows
Would you roll them down and let me in?
If I filled your plate and paid for all your dress clothes
Would you wash my robes and hide my sins?
If I stayed up late
And watched for you by candlelight
Would you raise my face
And put your wounded hand in mine?
If I wrote out all my thoughts and painted my dreams
Would I learn to talk to this stranger in me?
It’s all in my head and despite all my screams
This bastard in my brain won’t sing me to sleep

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I woke up this morning kinda wishing I were dead
It looks like someone poisoned all the wine and ate the bread
And you’re off somewhere that’s brighter, lighting candles, pulling threads
But I’m just blowing smoke at the stained glass in my head

[Hook 2:]
YEAH!
YEAH!
YEAH!
(You tear down what I’m bleeding out)
(I’m worn down and I need you now)

[Bridge:]
You tear down what I’m bleeding out
I’m worn down and I need you now
I break down and I’m bleeding out
Oh God, do I need you now

[Hook 3:]
YEAH!
YEAH!
YEAH!
You tear down what I'm bleeding out
(You tear down, I'm bleeding out)
I'm worn down and I need you now
(I'm worn down, I need you now)

But I’m just blowing smoke at the stained glass in my head...yeah
