The Sound

Nothing ever comes like it did when you were in it

Just a memory of a kid, just a washed out finish

Just a pain-in-the-ass Johnny Cash middle finger

No shooting up drugs, no quitter is a winner

Nothing ever comes like it did when you were in it

Keeping nothing for yourself like a stone cold killer

Now you're passing your people like a ship in the night

Looking to every stranger for a fight

Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it

Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar

Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it

Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Hoping that you like, that you like how you're living

Relying on the kindness of strangers that you will be forgiven

How many times, how many times will you shit on what you're given?

How many times, how many times 'til you shut up and listen?

Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it

Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar

Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it

Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Nothing ever comes, ever comes

Choking like a dog, like a dog

Open up your mouth

Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it

Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar

Open up your mouth if you want it

Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down
