The Company You Keep

Fall down to the dirt With the winds of Hell at your back Scream again in terror While the cold runs up your spine and Shiver in disgust at The company you keep Choking Suffocated by the world you've built Around your fucking self The temptation consumes you Another shot, another pill that you can't leave behind Then the serpents inside of your circle begin to constrict you You never cared about the cost and now you'll pay the price What's it gonna fucking cost Before it costs your life It grows so confounding All these years, still nothing has changed Insipid little rats run wild Suicidal when they learn that they Bleed You think That you've suffered Suffer unto me When darkness falls And your vices call their debts Know you paved your path Through the valley of death Fall down to the dirt With the winds of Hell at your back Scream again in terror While the cold runs up your spine and Shiver in disgust at The company you keep So stay fucking mad at the world Like you got something to prove Death's a state of mind But what's that mean to you You can cry about the pain til you lose your voice But I could stab you in the heart and you'd still miss the fucking point Forgiveness Is a luxury that you will never See Lay yourself to rest And dream a dream of what you'll never be Remember Before you speak Your word only carries the weight Of the company you keep
