Lyric Candy Coated
Now can you hear the cling-clang of my ball and chain gang?
The sound of heavy metal that tastes like cellophane
Collapsing every vein like umbrellas in heavy rain
My passion is pain
I do dirt to bury shame
I m victimized an institution s no solution
A place where you re defenseless and guilt s the prosecution
Where necks are bound into slipknots of shallow souls
Walking narrow roads to be hung from gallows poles
Nobody knows me success has exposed me
To narrow-minded souls with goals to overthrow me
Suppose that I chose to live my life low-key
Would you act like you could team
When there is nothing you can show me
Don t you understand I m the head of my class
A straight-A student not regretting the past
CHORUS
You see I m ok now but I don t think it will last
Because reality is something I can t seem to grasp
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away
It s deeper than what it looks like
We never got an equal shot so we took mics
Packed the candy-coated pain in the first pipe
That said my name and the candy-coated pain is the worst type
You got it nice my every day is your worst night
The world is digging in my wounds screaming out I bet it hurts right?
But it hurts more I got regrets but
I m glad I took the prize behind the first door
What s the hurt for?
Everybody hungers peace but they thirst war
It s crazy I m not complaining because I probably would have tried better
And if the people that I trusted weren t lie tellers
So keep your candy-coated pain to make the vibe better
Now all the songs I m writing sound like suicide letters
CHORUS
Guilty or innocent whatever pick the verdict
Sometimes a perfect picture s not so perfect
Though I could reverse the mixture it isn t worth it
Because my life seems to work no matter how bad I curse it
I only know a little but I feel so much
the pain brings me down but it reveals the rush
See I got my arms up just to shield the dust
Because I lust for the things I can t seem to touch
Arrest me if I follow you
You congest me I m so hollow from your gift
You infect me when I cut you
Still the same still insane
I think I love you
(But fuck you)
CHORUS
The sound of heavy metal that tastes like cellophane
Collapsing every vein like umbrellas in heavy rain
My passion is pain
I do dirt to bury shame
I m victimized an institution s no solution

Walking narrow roads to be hung from gallows poles
Nobody knows me success has exposed me
To narrow-minded souls with goals to overthrow me
Suppose that I chose to live my life low-key
Would you act like you could team

Because reality is something I can t seem to grasp
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain

Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
