Lyrics for Black Lazarus

I been away from my place of balance From the lakes that carried my mistakes and challenge And it's safe to say I had vacate the palace And I'm not sure where to place this malice And my old friends keep on reaching out Like we keep hearing you got demons how Like it's so clear what they speaking bout And my appearance has them freaking out Like is that fear through their veneer Can't hide their leers as they seeping out And the cavalier as they start to peer At the memories that im bringing out But it's too late for them to even see the meaning I been living since I said that I was leaving My brother would have found me slumped out On a round couch in a dark house With my bloated body and my lungs drowned With my twisted fingers like I'm thugged out I'm beside the table where the drugs found But I'm in euphoria like I'm up now If he Pray for me But ain't nobody here saving me And the only death I fear is painlessly And I've made it out of clear agency If he prayed for me The only way to live is dangerously Cause for every second chance Angels wave their hands Devils make their dance I just feel like I'm automatic I just go-go gadget On this mobile planet that I'm on And any prophylactic on an open bandage It's just more dramatic than it shows And if they open hand me or they poke and stab me I'll just close my eyelids I am so dramatic And my deep regret is I don't know my body But I'll keep revenge it helps me hold my malice I don't seek amends and I don't know they daddy If we speak again then we've spoken got me I'm so disconnected from my soul I'll probably have to reconnect it by a sort of proxy I will pick it up from any stone or concrete That it's wasting on as the day begun What would happen if I went like George or Michael Sorry baby I was late to your recital Novacane serenade me so delightful Open baby Don't close it baby Up in the bed with a poker face And I cannot feel my tongue from the copper taste And so when I hear the drums from the lower place Say goodnight to my love as I go away They keep hyping me up in the wrongest ways Said Tonight is the night they were sort of waiting Screaming back at the shadows like go away Bitch I might lose the battle but not today And for every second chance I just wave my hands The devils make their dance Fucking hyprocrite Why the fuck am I complaining here When there's kids in Gaza with a missing father The bongos in Congo don't hit as hard South Sudan needs a plan man don't get me started And for everything fucked that we pick apart I just fall to my knees with the disregard As they Pray for me But ain't no anybody here saving me And the only death I fear is painlessly And I've made it out of clear agency As they Pray for me The only way to live is dangerously Cause for every second chance Devils wave their hands Angels make their dance I just feel like it's fucked Nobody pray for me Nobody's saving me Nobody pray for me Nobody's saving me
