“Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath’s as hard as kerosene”

Pancho and Lefty- Townes Van Zandt
 
"Insane! Am I the only motherfucker with a brain?"

"Eyeless" by Slipknot
 
Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
 
“Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd”
 
There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future
But through whatever you see
Through all the rain and the pain
You gotta keep your sense of humor
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
Remember that!
Mmm, yeah, keep ya head up! Yeah
 
Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom
 
Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He claim he has the misery but he's havin' a lot of fun
 
I'm leaving to search for something new
Leaving every thing I ever knew
A hundred years in the sunshine
Hasn't taught me all there is to know.

“Whiskey bottles, brand new cars
Oak tree, you’re in my way”

That Smell- Lynyrd Skynyrd
Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you
Some sunny day"
Oh, yeah


~Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
 
Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake.
Everybody's empty,
And everything is so messed up.

Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
I didn't mean to call you that.
I can't remember what was said,
Or what you threw at me.
Please tell me…

Lit - “My Own Worst Enemy”


:rip: @darken65 :pout:
 
Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been going at it all night long
Well, I'm trying to get some sleep
But these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
And here's my song, here's my song


Duncan - Paul Simon
 
Eye on the TV.
'Cause tragedy thrills me.
Whatever flavor,
It happens to be like

Tool - “Vicarious”
