Deca - Strange Times lyrics

Strange times, I'm striving to better myself
Sick of putting worldly pleasure
Ahead of my health a pitiful sight
Wretched, from the poison ingested
The middle of the night awaken
In a cold sweat
Bottom feeder-esq never shed my old flesh
No regrets though I finally learn to let go
I've dished out and been
Hit with direct blows
Eyes swoll shut, broken blood vessels
Threshhold for pain high
Dark secrets kept low
On the low, deep dark tucked away forever
Along the road my weak heart
Struck the way to pleasure
Struck gold but it wasn't enough
To make it better
Midas curse, sun and moon collided with earth
Vex, drug sex rock and roll shit
Gettin' close to the edge I


Watch my soul slip

Snagged it by the ring finger before it fell
The recluse poked his head out the tortoise

Shell-shocked due to my natural habitat
Devil's lab rat
Who fell victim to his magic act
Hell bent on forcing new life
Into my old soul
Then buyin' it back from him
I know I stoop so low
Shell-shocked due to my natural habitat
Devil's lab rat
Who fell victim to his magic act
Hell bent on forcing new life
Into my old soul
Then buyin' it back from him
I know I stoop so low

Blow for blow
Life will sock you in the fucking mouth
Hard knocks boy there you are stuck in doubt
Ducking out from responsibility
When you're face to face with it
Even the strong of will flee
The kill or be killed freeze
Up and hide their shame
No use, gods and devils see inside your brain
We Americans thirst for blood and carnage
You say you fight for my freedom
That love is tarnished
Plasma won't come out your three-piece
Even with mineral spirit's
Doesn't matter how hard you
Scrub your garments
Spreading convoluted ideologies
And those that die with honor
For your cause no apologies
I'm no better than the rest
Sitting on my hands
Head in the medicine chest
Cursing broken promised lands
Strange times indeed
I got an empty stomach and a malnourished
Soul that I'm tryin' to feed

Some would say my outlook is morbid as hell
Recluse, poking my head out the tortoise

Shell-shocked due to my natural habitat
Devil's lab rat
Who fell victim to his magic act
Hell bent on forcing new life
Into my old soul
Then buyin' it back from him
I know I stoop so low
Shell-shocked due to my natural habitat
Devil's lab rat
Who fell victim to his magic act
Hell bent on forcing new life
Into my old soul
Then buyin' it back from him
I know I stoop so

Low to the ground
From dead serious to joking around
But I prefer not to play
The role of the clown used to be used to the
Blend of MDMA and hallucinogens
Lately the screws have been loosened again
Strange times, I'm striving to better myself
Treasure sanity like Ebenezer
Treasured his wealth
If I die before I wake I
See you in another life
Grieving’s pointless
Like trying to end it with a butter knife
The hedonist on a search for peace
It's not a self-fulfilled prophecy like
Big Pop’s first release
I got a strange feeling something ain't right
Strange times armegeddon's in plain sight
Mankind'll pick Mother Earth's bones clean
The more that we advance and
Move ahead full steam
You play your part well and
Act like it's no thing
I sit around and mourn the loss
Of my hopes and dreams

Some would say my outlook is morbid as hell
Recluse, putting my head back in the tortoise

Shell-shocked due to my natural habitat
Devil's lab rat
Who fell victim to his magic act
Hell bent on forcing new life
Into my old soul
Then buyin' it back from him
I know I stoop so low
Shell-shocked due to my natural habitat
Devil's lab rat
Who fell victim to his magic act
Hell bent on forcing new life
Into my old soul
Then buyin' it back from him
I know I stoop so low
