[Smevz] A charmless man, whos really a harmless fan Of relieving seething demons three fingers per ardent hand Sippin his liquor quicker than a bics flicker regardless that Hes been wishin to quit the swishin because hes an armless lad Starts to take charge, but its hard with a guardless jab And a scarred heart too smart to embark on such artless plans The suffering is smothering, hes wondering how long the darkness lasts Til hes struggling, crumbling, then guzzling right back where he started at The worst thing about his drinking is thinkin that it gets him better When really its bringin his feelings right up to a heated bettor Whos ready to sever his fingers if ever he cant get em The payment he claims that hes makin when everything is said and Done, and thats the fun of selfmedication Exchangin all his pain for some chemically bent elation And it works at first but then hes left with defective ventilation Leavin him weak, unable to breathe, and gettin near his expiration [Hook] Like a game show host, hes a game show host Just a game show host, plastic as wax like a game show host A hollow game show host, plastic smile like a game show host Just another game show host, nobodys home cuz youre a game show host [Lish] Shes confused and alone, she comes from a broken home She needs to make money, so in these streets she roams Looking for a place she can just call her own More than bein called Ivory over the microphone She reaches the stage, she feels a lump up in her throat The music starts to play, she cant turn back, so here she goes Takes a shot, slams it back burnin in her throat and nose She despises survin by slidin out of her clothes For a bunch of greedy assholes that she dont even know Shes a daughter, shes a sister, but they just call her ho Objectified, shes petrified, it kills her although She hides it with that smile during every show So what does she do? She goes and gets herself pregnant Well when is she due? I think its June that shes expectin And whats with the do? She never gives her hair attention She looks so subdued, cuz her dude reduces her to remnants [Hook] [Smevz] At night he covers his ears in tears The man downstairs mustve drank too many beers Sincerely seething and needin to save her from here Bust as much as he loves his mother, hes so weakened with fear Its clear, that all he can do is try not to listen To the stiff fists hittin, to just sit and envision A position in which he can give assistance dismissin the villain Fixed beyond recognition and gettin no willin mortician The son watches the clock crawl til the sun crawls in And hes called down for breakfast again But the coffee and the eggs, and the sausage on his plate And the makeup on her face cant erase what he did Before he goes to school hes givin his mother an embrace Knowin nobody can save them, nobody can take em away Thinkin that maybe hell be able to take revenge one day But til then hes gotta hide it all and just look brave [Hook] [Lish] Just when you think youve heard it all before Somethin really happens to erode your soul to the core Hes turnin ninety eight today, and it feels like a chore So lonely from deliverin his wife to deaths door She was his map, now hes lost without her Now wheres he at, cuz his souls devoured She was the reason he was breathin but it seems that fate deceived him Illreceived, he cant believe that she would really up and leave him Shes been gone for three years, yet he swears shes still here All these realizations finally gettin him feelin his fear That he needs to accept, that hes lost his best friend Seventy years of companionship, thats it, thats the end All the places hes been, all the things that hes seen Leaves him thinkin that maybe theres nowhere left for he to be Now he wont say a lie and state tonight hes hating his life But its just hes lost his drive without his wife, hes waiting to die
