locreance - roaches lyrics

chorus
i would be violent
if i didn’t have silence
down here in my coffin
begging for change
these roaches have a tendency
to crawl inside me as i sleep
i guess i made it easy
with track marks to guide them in

verse 1
roaches in the ashtray smolder and flash
days get colder fast, they haze and coalesce
been dazed and mostly trashed, occasionally crash
when i’ve wasted all my stash to abate the balderdash
of a basic sober status, i know it’s madness
i sold my mattress to slap on some opiate patches
i know my role, lay back with the roaches in caskets
sold my soul for smack and it’s takin’ over like fascists
slip through the cracks, i’m fallin’ fast
my mom keeps callin’, ain’t callin’ back
been bawlin’, crawlin’, scratchin’, pawin’ through the trash
there’s got to be another oxycontin cap
forgotten, left behind, or lost along the path
i’m watchin’ my body act, but i cannot react
that’s when the nausea oscillates my conscious state
‘til i’m prostrate over the toilet, violent bodily shakes

verse ii
i can’t sleep, i can’t eat
i can’t breathe, i can’t leave
this darkened apartment, been barfin’ and lyin’ fetal
i’m feeble, need the needle, man, for real
people briefly breeze through frequently to
intravenously squeeze juice
to keep from feeling lethal, dopesick, squeemish, evil
hopless, fiendish, fecal, roaches, we are equal
i’m worried i took it too far
all i wanted to do was go look at the stars
but all i can see is this room and it’s growing so dark
i can hear my mother’s voice and it is consoling my heart
i wonder if dad cried as dad died
after he metabolized his last line, got past time
did he blast through the black just one last time?
or did he crash and fry into the ashes just like i am
where have i been?
where have i been?
there’s so much silence
i need horizons
i need asylum
but where have i been?
there’s so much silence
there’s so much silence
