Creek Blues

[00:23.63]	Pills eat through you like acid burning holes
[00:34.16]	Through your head, your mind, your bones and enamel
[00:44.26]	Handcuffed to the bed like you’re an animal
[00:54.29]	I don’t even recognize you anymore
[01:06.36]	Try to put you down like an old dog to sleep
[01:16.85]	Cut your branches off but you’re a dying tree
[01:25.91]	The doctors came and pulled the sheet up over your head
[01:36.85]	You’re already dead you just don’t know it yet
[01:47.21]	You are sick and I hate you and love you for it
[01:57.80]	You’re a wreck but I’m always going to want you
[02:10.93]	I hate to see the knife always under your arm
[02:21.38]	Alone at night, cutting up neighborhood dogs
[02:30.42]	You snuck me to your daddy’s bedroom
[02:35.71]	Showed me all his guns
[02:40.66]	You said
[02:42.38]	“Careful or you’ll blow your head off,
[02:47.53]	Make sure the safety’s on”
[02:59.92]	Leaving things to die in the mud at the creek
[03:10.66]	Pumping shotgun slugs out into the trees
[03:19.24]	You run your fingers on the wood and feel its bullet holes
[03:29.92]	It gives you something I could never give you or ever really know
[03:40.35]	You are sick and I hate you and love you for it
[03:51.13]	You’re a wreck but I’m always going to want you
