Self Destruct

from Collection 1 by Earthbook

/

lyrics

I set land mines in my own backyard; in my bed; under pillows beneath my head; and forget where they are. I burn down houses and torch surrounding areas. I pollute and shred trees without shedding tears. I shake down shelter, dirty water, black out sun betray your sons and daughters, hit and run disguised like me. I have nowhere to go, nowhere to live and no one to be.

I put poison in most all I eat. I tie my laces together and have too many drinks. I wear bear traps as insoles in my shoes and walk under ladders. I like to break mirrors, open umbrellas, hunt black cats, drink dirty water, slime, soap scum; ignore your sons and daughters, hit and run. Its done by me. I have nowhere to go, nowhere to live and no one to be.
