Cradle to Grave

Nuclear Flowers

Cradle to Grave


Time to write down my mingles with the mid-life 
White lies from the high times with young minds that want to die 
Sly elders that try hard enough to fucking cry 
Just reply that it's all state of mind 
Fuck that, I can't shake my head 
And get it back on track 
Where's my share? 
My little pitch to little mister 
Little cut? 
Hey! What'd I say? 
"Of course" 

I fooled the system with issues non-existent 
And ears that would listen to smiles that would glisten 
Fists kept on kissing the sisters with intentions 
While I straddled fences and acted so tense 
Fuck that, I can't cut the slack 
And bring the history back of all I've created 
With you on your deathbed 
Next to the horse head 
Staring back 
"Of course" 

When I feel it, I try it from up above 
My water discovers an ancient love 
Your heart breaks 

Mexican skyline 
Suns of frustration 
Rise at the foot of my bed 
The nuclear flowers 
That she picks for me 
Always seem wilted and dead 
Flow, ebb 

As the tequila 
Flows through my system 
I'm making friends with the floor 
When the squid's happy 
Up on W. Hill 
Sobriety becomes a chore 
Lowest tide 

Why don't you feel? 
Or can't you? 
Don't feel 

Empty 
Empty 
Empty 
Empty cup
