Brain Rot

the sounds of johnny cash fill my head
as the last drop of whiskey slides down my throat
the juice is wet but i feel dry, dry, dry
and there’s no place left for me to go

I sit at the bar staring at the bottom of my glass
and it might as well be my whole life
I’ve gone so many long years just to sit on my ass
to sit and wait for the reaper’s knife

oh, i tried to work, but the work had no end,
it just distracted me for a while
and i tried to have friends but they might as well be dead
when i don’t see any light behind their smile

but now i’m stuck here down in el paso
and not a shadow to call home
and i’ll fight and i’ll scream and i’ll bite and i’ll yell
but there’s no where left for me to go

I’ll break a window and i’ll spit on a cop
just so they’ll take me down
but i can’t fight the feeling that it’s never gonna stop
and in this quicksand i think i’m gonna drown

so pick me up and take me away with you
to wherever it is you’re gonna go
i’m just tryin’ to find a little love
and someplace i can call home!
