Bloodshot

Your presence next to me Is ever so unnerving Your breath is wet With the stench of cigarettes And I'm waiting to see What you've got to say next Why would you believe That I could ever trust you? I've heard it all before And you're just one more I'll be making sure That you won't be staying long Wipe that smirk off of your face Before I do it for you If you're looking for a new pawn Then I've got nothing for you We used to stand on mountains Dig with our own hands But now we've been mislead I refuse to listen To anyone who claims The road is paved with gold We weren't always so far off We used to stand on mountains With courage in our hearts And bruises on our feet We used to stand on mountains I put my fingers in the dirt Cause I'm proving what I'm worth There's nothing that I deserve Everything in life is earned So I put my fingers in the dirt Some will say to take the easy route To be idle But I won't listen Cause I sleep With one bloodshot eye open So tell me that I'm wrong For not trusting you You'll learn to sleep With one eye open Don't trust blindly You'll be left with nothing You'll learn to sleep With one eye open Don't trust blindly
