Liquor & Blood

from Awful, Pompous, & Artificial by Bomethius

lyrics

It seems there’s no limit
To the things I can’t do
Or the things I’ve tried to prove
To me for you

But at the end of my glass
Is the start of my day
And I’ve tasted your words
And they echo in my brain:

Fill in all the potholes with liquor and blood
For the thousands who’ve died
And the thousands that are done

Fill in all the potholes with liquor and blood
For the thousands who’ve died
And the thousands that are done

Paint a splash of a runway
Only hydroplaning cars
They won’t be cleared for landing
Not tonight anyhow

Like the brave little turtle
Who tried the street to cross
He crawled to his end
But to the wrong side he was tossed

As he flew through the air
Did he know who loved him best?
Was he glad it was all over
As he sighed out his last?

There’s always another
And we’re bound at last to meet
So fill in the potholes
But stay out of the street
