Tar Lungs
BRENNAN SAVAGE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gun me down and break my bones to dust
Lay me down just kill me if you must
Make me cry just feel my brain with lies
There's nothing that surprises me lately
Life's a movie just play your evil part (evil part)
They never liked me I could tell that from the start
They wasn't fooling me
You never saw I got my heart pinned on my arm

Take my soul and stab my back
All that sin we can't take back
So gouge my eyes and fill my lungs with tar
Take my time it all go fast now
I'm on a ride but I'm low on gas now
So baby let's go back to the start
Before I have to fell apart
Gun me down and break my bones to dust
Lay me down just kill me if you must
Make me cry just feel my brain with lies
There's nothing that surprises me lately
Life's a movie just play your evil part (evil part)
They never liked me I could tell that from the start
They wasn't fooling me
You never saw I got my heart pinned on my arm
Take my soul and stab my back
All that sin we can't take back
So gouge my eyes and fill my lungs with tar
Take my time it all go fast now
I'm on a ride but I'm low on gas now

So baby let's go back to the start
Before I have to fell apart

Line by Line Meaning

Gun me down and break my bones to dust
Kill me mercilessly and reduce me to nothingness

Lay me down just kill me if you must
End my life if that's what you want

Make me cry just feel my brain with lies
Lie to me until I break down and cry

There's nothing that surprises me lately
I'm not easily surprised anymore

Life's a movie just play your evil part (evil part)
Life is like a movie, where you can choose to play the villain

They never liked me I could tell that from the start
I knew they never liked me from the very beginning

They wasn't fooling me
I wasn't fooled by them

You never saw I got my heart pinned on my arm
You never realized how much I cared

Take my soul and stab my back
Betray me and take away my spirit

All that sin we can't take back
We can't undo the wrongs we've done

So gouge my eyes and fill my lungs with tar
Hurt me in any way you want
