Lyrics
Hit The Black
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hanging by a thread, problems in my head
Don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run
Corporation greed, television need
Overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back
I'm going down
To a place where I can see all there is to see in me
Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun
Think I'll take a ride to the other side, till I'm done
Hole is in the vein
Feel it numb the brain, take away the pain
Never be the same till I die
There's no brakes on me, as I come around the track
There's no gauge to read
Peg the needle as I hit the black
I'm going down
To a place where I can see all there is to see in me
Population freeze
Modern day disease
Brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure
Profit in the wind
Pushing back the time that we wait in line
Pushing back the time, it's a sin
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back
I'm going down
