Learn to Fly : Descent
Bloodlet Lyrics

I had been awake for several days with time to think
With a few days of no sleep and plenty of time to ponder, I'm in deep thought.

It had been so long since I needed sleep to dream
I haven't slept well in so long, that it's been too long since I've had a good dream.

Another fine day slip away no time to think
Another day passes by without any real personal connections and nothing to inspire me to think.

I need a drink
The thought of alcohol is pretty much consuming me right now.

I hear it smells like candy in a baby's mind
People say that a baby's mind has a particular sweet scent that reminds me of my childhood.

As long as I remember mine smelled of wine
To me, the scent of my childhood memories was more wine-like than sweet.

Man that orange flavored thunderbird ain't got me feeling so fine
This cheap liquor isn't making me feel very good at all.

Now I'm smelling like bourbon flavored pork rinds in the government cheese line
Drinking cheap, bad-tasting booze has resulted in some unsavory bodily smells, while waiting in a government handout line for food.

Drinking warm O.E. in the morning sunlight
Early morning, I'm already drinking warm malt liquor outside.

I drive a rust flavored thunderbird and she ain't feeling so fine
My old, rusty car, nicknamed the "hate tank," is in bad shape and not feeling well.

They call her the hate tank
My beat-up car has earned the nickname 'hate tank.'

She is rolling three on the tree
My car has three gears on the column shifter instead of a regular floor shifter.

I got a nephew named Lucifer
I have a nephew named Lucifer, and he seems to be following in my footsteps.

You know he takes after me
My nephew is like me in many ways that are not exactly positive.

A liter of sourmash to ease the pain
I'm drinking a lot to numb the pain I'm feeling.

I'm still hoping one day I will drink myself sane
Maybe, just maybe, if I drink enough, I'll start to feel normal again.

Mama didn't love me she loved her percocet
My mother may have been addicted to Percocet as she didn't seem to give me the attention and love I needed.

At age 13 I set out to become king
At age 13, I had ambitions of being great or successful.

But I became the joker instead
Unfortunately, I didn't become what I hoped, and instead took up being the joker or class clown type role.

I have been alone for 100 days with time to think
I've been alone for such a long time now that I've had ample time to reflect on my life.

When life eats itself I will say goodbye
Life has become too hard, and if it gets worse, I may say good bye.

The salt in my beard is all I got to eat
I'm so poor that the only food I have is salt, which I'm licking off my beard.

But I've managed to stay high for the past 2 weeks
Even through all of this, I've somehow been able to stay high on drugs for the past two weeks.

Woke up this morning with 2 black eyes
I woke up with two black eyes, battered and bruised, and unsure why.

I've been sleeping in the dumpster again and I don't know why
I've been sleeping in a dumpster, which is not ideal, and I'm not sure why I'm doing this.

They say I smell like the reefer
People say I smell like weed because I probably do it so much.

Ya know I'm high all the time
I'm high on drugs pretty much all the time these days.
