 | 
| dropped by their label cause they can’t pay it back

 | 
| it killed them
 | 
| it killed them

 | 
| so show me where to sign
 | 
| and i’ll write my name down in my own red blood
 | 
| because there comes a time when you think a house might be nice
 | 
| and selling out don’t mean a fuck, you see
 | 
| it kills me
 | 
| it kills me
 | 
| it kills me
 | 
| it kills me

 | 
| to put shoes on my feet, and food on my table
