Famine Ghost - The Alter Boys

Crawled across this glass, slept on these nails

Dissapointment never fails

These blood shot eyes focus on your flaws

Now reach for the shortest straw

Wide awake these nights, nightmares at ease

Now I become an anomaly

Shortness of breath program destruct

Cotton candy framed a paper cut!

Take one last breath fill up your lungs

Pay it back take it back-back where it belongs

Take one last breath fill up your lungs

Pay it back take it back-back where it came from

I swear on my mother’s eyes

I had nothing to do with your demise

I’m lost without you

So let’s propose a toast to the famine ghost

Open empty mouths, all tied in knots

Memories I thought that I forgot

These stomach pains, strain of disease

Can’t hear my prayers ignore my pleas

A mothers child, a soldier’s guilt

Smell the flowers before they wilt

Send a funeral wreath, a folded flag

A yellow ribbon wrapped around a body bag!

Take one last breath fill up your lungs

Pay it back take it back-back where it belongs

Take one last breath fill up your lungs

Pay it back take it back-back where it came from

I swear on my mother’s eyes

I had nothing to do with your demise

I’m lost without you

So let’s propose a toast to the famine ghost

Back and fourth from work 40 hours till home

Everyday the same this haggard life is my own

Hungry mouths need value meals

Super size my future and these 18 wheels

I’m as blue as my collar and this bruise of mine

Hammered down teamster bought box of pine

I swear on my mother’s eyes

I had nothing to do with your demise

I’m lost without you

So let’s propose a toast to the famine ghost

Pay it back take it back-back where it belongs

Pay it back take it back-back where it came from
