Byron Henderson – SHIPWRECKED. Lyrics
Artist: Byron Henderson
Song: SHIPWRECKED.
Was stuck living life with the lifeless, uh
Devil on your pay roll, I know you won’t like this, uh
Amplifying your every fear with that light switch
Vows, I owe you nothing
You threw him rope and you tightened it
Fugazi, you people are fugazi
Your errors allow me to see that I ain’t go too crazy
Knew I wasn’t sick just for y’all to see, but still let your weight fall on me
Lost a lot, but gained that much more without you
So don’t call on me, ah!
When the chips are down
Tell me who’ll be there to stop you from hitting the ground
When it’s swim or drown
Am I wrong if I want to get it on till I die
Am I wrong if I’m feeling like the law don’t apply
Said am I wrong if I’m down to get it on till I die
Am I wrong if I’m feeling likе the law don’t apply
Sat across from some demons that rеcall all the lies
So I long for the same truth that y’all falsify, hey
I often wonder what truly matters in life, I just know it’s subjective
You’re either horrified at the scene or adoring the wreckage
Corpses float around me like cover
Brothers, sisters, and mothers, the same illness we suffer from
When the chips are down
Tell me who’ll be there to stop you from hitting the ground
When it’s swim or drown
Am I wrong if I’m want to get it on till I die
Am I wrong if I’m feeling like the law don’t apply
Said am I wrong if I’m down to get it on till I die
Am I wrong if I’m feeling like the law don’t apply
Fell far, no idea where I belong, that’s my life
At a loss, cause I feel alone, knowing that I’m not, hey
Sometimes I think the world is far beyond repair
Then I envision the eyes of the only woman I call my friend and see the future lies within
Plus this ten year old
And no, not my ten year old, but even she knows she’s close as I’m gon’ get, yeah
Isolated way before the pandemic
Light shined so bright, my darkest thoughts can’t dim it, mm
The more I swim, seems I get further from my destination [Can’t give up
Pardon me, just trying to find my way here
You can see we’re shipwrecked
Burdens lurking, plenty murder to the first degree
Watched the world collapse the day I crashed into some inner peace
Never know who the masses massacre
Assassinate your character, the savior they’ve been asking for
Who gon’ pray for me, him, her
Live and learn or watch as history repeats
The feeling of killing your own has got to be bittersweet
Deep down knowing there’s something more rich to eat
It’s a free country, but you still ain’t free
Dreams dissipating almost every week
See I went missing but ain’t miss a beat
Never mind respect, I was just too busy fighting this whole time
A couple years ago, I beat death and re-emerged a goldmine
Love, trust, all of the above
Y’all just weaponize it like they weaponize drugs and blood lust
Needed extra closets for your skeletons, your flaws, your addictions and withdrawals
How you swim in deep waters when your government is Jaws
If the country is a sinking ship, then we’re back where we started
Overboard went the pharaoh that would rather die a martyr
Ohh, ohhh
