“Sick, Sweet Symphony”
By: Steve Everett
Verse 1
Have you ever thought of blowing yourself up for no good reason
Have you ever tried to drown your mind in a gallon of cabernet
You’re not the only one, you’re not the only one
Have you ever felt the people you loved were only assigned to you
And the only reason they were kind
Was it’s what they were paid to do
You’re not the only one, you’re not the only one
Chorus
And it’s a sick, sweet symphony
We make it hard to live for free
But if you ever get a taste of what you’re after
You’ll never let it be
Verse 2
Have you ever tried telling your heart it’s all down hill from here
Hoping it would captain all of your organs so they would persevere
You’re not the only one, you’re not the only one
Does your mind change second to second
And do you have trouble settling down
And have they written you a hundred prescriptions
But you just can’t turn it around
You’re not the only one, you’re not the only one
Bridge
I’m just a slave to my heart’s commandments
I’m beating horses deeper in the graves
I’m only breathing cause my lungs demand it
And just trying to make my way
