Buck 65 - Baby Blanket lyrics

I don’t want to be a bad person anymore
A casualty that casually fought
In a friendly war now I’ve seen the light
Which makes me worse off than before
And all that’s left of what we
Had is just an empty drawer
When I looked into the mirror
I always acted blind
My life became invisible to
My distracted mind
Neither of us ever wants to reenact the crime
Now I’d trade my eyes if I
Could just go back in time jesus Christ
How filled with agony can dreaming be?
Hurry mother
Carry me back to the screaming sea
Name your price
Because I’ll do anything that you desire
Hold me under water
Put my arms into the fire
It would have been a huge mistake
And wouldn’t you agree?
We were making plans to turn
Our two into a three
The only thing you left behind
You bought just weeks before
Now you’re gone and it’s the only
Thing that keeps me warm
You left a baby blanket here with me
I never thought it’d ever happen
But the system crashed
Disembodied voices echoed from
The distant past
A fire burned with too much fury
For me to try and douse
Now I spend the endless hours
In a dying house shutters cover windows
Wreath was taken off the door
My disappearing body drags my
Shadow across the floor
I can’t tell the rooms apart
Thought I was lost before
A black bird on a wire
Skeleton that washed ashore
Betrayal has a memory
Addictions don’t forgive
Hiding from the wild and violent
World in which we live
Can’t make copies of the keys
Oath that was sworn opposes
It’s in the books pages cut
Your fingers thrones have roses
With this small reminder every night
I toss and turn
Words I can’t remember anymore
Are lost and burned
The only thing you left behind
You bought just weeks before
Now you’re gone and it’s the only
Thing that keeps me warm
You left a baby blanket here with me
