Shoot Up

by Matthew Carpenter - Leo


Darkness falls around your eyes
lightning flashes across the sky
You’re sitting in the back room getting high

Needle in your arm and a buzz in your head
layin’ down to sleep in a burning bed
Living like you would be better off dead

Chorus
Shoot up
shot down
soul is
Hell bound
lies and deceit abound


Bloodshot eyes in a daze
swimming around in a coked-up haze
not concerned about the price you’ll have to pay

Jack Daniels and LSD
you think getting high helps you see
But nothing in life comes for free

Chorus
Shoot up
shot down
soul is
Hell bound
lies and deceit abound

Crack-brain
insane
mind is
going lame
