Lyric Life Is Bad

(written by Shelby Lynne, Bill Botrell and Roger Fritz)

Waste away to nothin in a dark dusty tomb
lookin for the traces of what used to be a room
wipe away the blood from a tormented brow
solve the wicked problem never asking how

Rock the sinking vessel till it rests on the bottom
count the waves of water don t remember forgot them
taste the stench of livin on thin dimes and a dream
opening an ear to a painful silent scream

Oh life is bad
Oh no, worst I ever had

Ache and writhe in agony like a vise on aging bones
tar and acid drip from an ice cram cone
holding onto a wind that chases the hell
fallin in the darkness of an inner descending well

Caress transparent night as a demon with a sword
speak with an eloquence never saying a word
look into the clarity then erase it with the muck
lying in a pool of conciousness no such thing as luck

To being a beginner, to inventing the end
to livin with a strangler never a friend
saddle slobbering beast trouble is abound
ride the devil s bronco never hit the ground
