Taker

Do you wake up in the morning, then reach into a hat and draw a name
Blind to how you're oh so wrong, you choose somebody else to take the blame
You can paint a stunning picture, but damn you don't know where to draw the line
Reality's the adversary, in your bitter war against the man
But that man is the father of your son, a boy who's trapped in no man's land
I won't reinforce your front again, it's time to step aside
You fake a perfect life in filtered photos that I see through
You never think about the others or consider what they need, too
You'd even die at my funeral to make it about you
You're a taker, so now I'm a leaver, believe me
The gaslight's burning out and now the flair is gone, and packed under your bed
While the movie that you're starring in plays on an endless loop inside your head
And the show it will go on after a costume change
You fake a perfect life in filtered photos that I see through
You never think about the others or consider what they need, too
You'd even die at my funeral to make it about you
You're a taker, so now I'm a leaver, believe me
You fake a perfect life in filtered photos that I see through
You never think about the others or consider what they need, too
You'd even die at my funeral to make it about you
And you've taken all that I had. So I'm leaving.

Harmony

It had been a long year since my love left
So I took a ride down where the love is sold
Found a young lady standing out under the bridge
Looking every bit of 25 years old
I rolled down the window and I asked her name
"Harmony" she said as she climbed inside
She must've known that it was my first time
She told me "Just relax, I'm qualified"
Money can't fill the emptiness
And money can't buy you love
But it can fund a hell of a distraction
"If you've got a little to dispose of"
So I got us a room at a motor inn
It was small but clean which is all you need
She laid out her things on the bedside table
Her phone, some keys, and a bag of weed
As she closed her purse I caught a glimpse inside
Told myself there’s no way that I had seen
That card with a picture of her smiling wide
IT was her school ID she was about sixteen
Money can't fill the emptiness
And money can't buy you love
But it can fund a hell of a distraction
"If you've got a little to dispose of"
Before I spoke she tried to unzip her dress
Her fingers began to tremble
The door caved open and a man crashed in
That Harmony seemed to resemble
She screamed “daddy” as he came at me
And threw me on the faux-fur rug
A night of distraction left a hole in my heart
The size of a 12-gauge slug
Money didn’t fill the emptiness
And it never did buy me love
"But it left my father with blood on his hands"
And a secret to dispose of

Running Over

My time was running over and this world didn't want me anymore
At least I didn't fade, the lights were out before my body hit the floor
I believed the story that my simple life would flash before my eyes
But there is nothing here but cold and dark and silence much to my surprise
And I leave behind nothing that will matter
And you will not find a trace of my disaster
