Where Only The Graves Are Real Lyrics by Otis Gibbs

Joe Hill’s Ashes

0

[Verse 1]
I'm so tired of the beautiful people, I’m so tired of the elegant games
I'm so tired of being normal and treated strange
I don't need the late night parties or their plastic, perfect world
Where only the graves are real
[Chorus]
Where are my true friends, where did they go?
Where are my true friends, where did thеy go?
Goddamn, all of my fake friends
The onеs who cling to me like I’m a star
Everyone's your best friend when you're closing down the bars
God bless the ones who really are
[Verse 2]
I'm so tired of making bargains, I'm so tired of cutting deals
I'm so tired of working harder at spinning wheels
Then I woke in someone's vision with a pile of day-old dread
And only the graves were real
[Chorus]
Where are my true friends, where did they go?
Where are my true friends, where did they go?
Goddamn, all of my fake friends
The ones who cling to me like I'm a star
Everyone’s your best friend when you’re closing down the bars
God bless the ones who really are
God bless the ones who really are
[Verse 3]
I'm so tired of sittin’ politely, I'm so tired of fakin' a smile
I'm so tired of delusional people livin’ in denial
I don't need the addicts and pushers even though they're runnin' the whole damn thing
And only the graves are real
[Chorus]
Where are my true friends, where did they go?
Where are my true friends, where did they go?
Goddamn, all of my fake friends
The ones who cling to me like I'm a star
Everyone's your best friend when you're closing down the bars
But God bless the ones who really are
God bless the ones who really are
This is a song for those who really are
