No Stopping It

6/14/2019

1. ain't no stopping my frightening appetite
i snap like a snake, always take the biggest bite
oh, too busy chewing, i know i'm not doing it right
oh, no one ever told me how to hold a fork and knife

so i swallow it whole
taking it down
losing control
ain't no stopping it now
i regurgitate
spit it back out
must be something i ate
ain't no stopping it now

2. ain't no stopping my rising Fahrenheit
i'm sick as a dog, always crying every night
oh, reticent to medicine, hesitant to taking care
oh, cause when everyone leaves, my disease is always there

so i swallow it whole
taking it down
losing control
ain't no stopping it now
i regurgitate
spit it back out
must be something i ate
ain't no stopping it now

here it comes again
better out than in

i swallow it whole
taking it down
losing control
ain't no stopping it now
i regurgitate
spit it back out
must be something i ate
ain't no stopping it now

here it comes again
better out than in

Tourniquet

all these needles all in vain
when will sleep come to numb the pain
cut it off so it won't bleed
how does one try not to need

i'm learning how to roll with it
the tightening of the tourniquet
no blood supply i'm used to it
i'll die trying loosen the grip

all these things I saw
explain the rubber mouth and stubborn jaw
circulatory system breech
what kind of wave resists the beach

it wasn't my plan
i didn't mean no harm
oh well who needs a hand
who needs a loving arm

Chasing a Lie

Capo 6, chord shapes below
Verse: G-B-Cadd9
Chorus: Em C G D
Bridge: Am Em C // G-B-Cadd9

starting out, you were a friend of a friend
nothing much to love or get invested in
years gone by, now you're family
the same blood that runs through you
runs through me

but you're chasing a lie, chasing a lie, chasing a lie
telling yourself you're gonna die sooner or later
wasting your life, wasting your life, wasting your life
it's a life you and i know should be greater, chasing a lie

starting out, i worried
about you behind your back
now i worry to your face
trying to make up for the worry you lack

put it down, put it down
it will never quench your thirst
put it down, put it down
it's just making matters worse
pick 'em up, pick 'em up
pick up the pieces friend
i will help you put them back again

i’ve had enough, enough

your daddy used to drink he used push you around
chase your little sisters, knock your mama down
he would stay out late driving out to the bar
you were just a little boy, oh, he made you wait in the car

it’s in your system now, it’s in your blood
it’s an addiction you can’t get enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
you’re starting to love that bottle way more than you love me
and i’ve had enough, enough

my mama couldn’t sleep, she worked hard to pay the bills
and one day she just gave up and give in to the sleeping pills
yeah, they closed her eyes – yes, they kept her eyes shut
i was just a little girl the day my mama never woke up

it’s in my system now, it’s in my blood
it’s an addiction i can’t get enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
these tiny little pills, oh, they’ve got a big hold on me
and i’ve had enough, enough

we started out wrong, we started out behind
but i will not pass this on to no child of mine
we will do it together, babe, or i will do it alone
there will be no addiction welcome in my home

it’s in our systems, i know, it’s in our blood
it’s an addiction but i’ve had enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
it’s time to break the cycle, oh, before it breaks me
break it with love, with love
