Nick County - Violent Sleeper Lyrics

I'm fresh out of places to run to
So I don't do no running anymore
If you want to see me
It's easy enough
Just come a-knockin' on my front door
Every direction is an illusion to me
Summer in the tropics and there's rotting fruit on the ground
I'm burning up, sweating bullets, on the cold tile floor
Hide the firewater and the shit will run aground
If you want to want to see me standing in the sunlight
Paint a picture and put it on your wall
'Cuz I'm a man living in a cell for something I didn't do
Peace be with you while I'm roaming up and down the halls
If you want to want to see me standing in the sunlight
Paint a picture and put it on your wall
'Cuz I'm a man living in a cell for something I didn't do
Peace be with you while I'm roaming up and down the halls
I'm a violent sleeper
A dreamer and loss leader
You're a morning steeper
A bleeder and mind-reader
You're a noble bird flying low and flat
And I'm the bad wolf chewing up the fat
We were never meant to be together
Like the mailbox and the letter
I took you away to another place
To destroy your time and space
I thought you would be glad to start over
Then you look over your shoulder
Here comes the season
Ripen not to reason
There's crimes in the mine
Scouts on the hillside
And a laser line run into my mind
