Lyrics

Broken Nails

Please…Let me up enough to see the light.
Bleed…If you wait too long won’t last the night.
Life is such a backbite. We’re dropping just like flies.
Lick your lips for ya pound of flesh, no there ain’t no compromise.

And now its tearing me apart. Like a bullet shot, straight into my heart
This non-stop street fight got me in a daze.
I got left for dead on a bed of broken nails.

Time…is running out I’ve got to lose these chains.
Crime…only pays if you can take the pain.
Shove my car into gear, get rippin’ on outta here.
Took my licks about as far, have I made this crystal clear?

And now you’re tearing me apart. Like a bullet shot straight into my heart.
It’s a non-stop street fight going on for days.
I got left for dead on your bed on broken nails.
I been left for dead on a bed of broken nails.
There’s time you have to fail, I’m running off the rails
And left for dead on your bed of broken nails.

Combination, desolation into overdrive.
Light the fuse to your dynamite, you suck down cyanide.
You set fire to gasoline, I’m a victim of your love.
Your pocket full of paradise, fit me like a glove, but now I’ done. I’m on the run.

No more tearing me apart. Your bullets won’t get through to my heart.
I’m sick and tired of counting down the days.
When your left for dead on your bed of broken nails.
Yes left for dead on your bed of broken nails.
And now it set me free, you want me back to bleed.
And left for dead on your bed of broken nails.
Broken Nails.
