Close To The Bone

The bills I can't pay it's the same everyday
All of my life I've done what I thought was right, the way it should be
But deep in the night when it all just comes to light, of how it could be
Can't find that gold mine
I'm sub prime
And living too close to the bone
I'm just a wreck and I'm pacing the floor
The voices are growing too loud
I need a fix just to get me through this
The cause of this problem is your endless lies
Lies only you can believe
Your death is the fix that can get me through this
Then comes a time what just what you thought was right is something different
But deep in the night when it all should come to light of what it could be
