Grieves - Shreds Lyrics
[Verse 1:]I don’t believe in cuttin’ cornersOwn it like a scar on the faceStand tall whether taking the gold or in last placeNot really the one to give God praiseBut if you’ve got the gospel, then tell me how it tastes, halleluiahBitin’ on the bullet for strengthI’m a long distance runner sucker, I’m in it for lengthIt’s not a matter of whether or not you can playBut a scale of if you give a ***** enough to make a statementLay it down, separate the men from the miceAnother body under halogen lights missing its life [?]What the hell would make you think that you could judge another personFor loving something so much it hurts their stomach, huh?Living by the blood in my neckWith a bulls-eye tatted on the back of my headI never spoke it how they want it to be saidSo they left me for the winter and the wolves[Chorus:]Tear me into shreds, rip me into bitsTear another page out, punch me in the ribsI can smell the poison on your lipsWhatever it is, I be willin’ to betThey wanna get inside my head, tell me how it isSittin’ in a tower with a rifle and a listI can see the razor on your lipsWhatever it is, I be willing to betYou shoulda held your breath[Verse 2:]I don’t believe in sitting downTake it like a knife in the backYou burnt out into nothing after striking a matchI never been the type to follow the packSo if it’s true, you got the answers, then why the hell you so mad then?Another Holy Ghost-laid scriptClipped the wings off of my words and buried the shivThey wanna pick apart the passion in my ribs, I invite themCause I don’t run away from shit, lay it outSeparate the guns and the flowersThe minutes that go into all these hoursAnd I bet if you were given a smidgen of just the tip of the iceberg I’ve had to struggle withYou wouldn’t act so sour, but maybe notLivin’ off the fruit of my stressWith a size 12 boot heel steppin’ on my chestDidn’t do it how they wanted it to endSo they threw me to the winter and the wolves[Chorus x2]
