Coins on the Open Eyes - Kill the Vultures

If I walk blind/ they’ll lay me down in chalk lines

The spot’s mine if I travel with a soft spine

The city’s hungry/ everyone is fair game

Spare change ain’t blood money to a pair of fangs

The air hangs like sneakers on the phone wire

Too thick to breathe in/ too thick to go higher

They sound like angels/ voices out the black church

Tracked dirt inside didn’t notice til the last verse

Amazing grace lay your hands on my face

So I can fin’ly feel like I’ve abandoned my ways

Trying to own land 'fore I land in my grave

How come I’m three steps ahead of you just standing in place?

I felt the earth move/ under my blurred view

The curfew, the proud, their hurt is on the curb, too

Swerve through with nothing but a word and

Disturbed truth/ to neglect and to serve you

Bite the bullet/ this is gonna sting a bit

Come to think of it/ this the iceberg to sink your ship

No signs of life by daylight

Ask the hangman if he ever gets stage fright

Eyes rollin' back like a slot machine

Must’ve been the two-faced woman I got caught between

The poison could’ve used a little seasonin'

Lies blinded both eyes but fuck it you can leave 'em in

Made a mess out of something so beautiful

I’m trying to get front row tickets to my funeral

Just to see the look on my face when my maker came

Now throw my ashes like paper planes/ make it rain

Just another ghost on the night beat

Gayngs is half-dead walking 'round under white sheets

I promise I won’t promise you nothin'

And you can have it all/ now isn’t that somethin?

Coins on the open eyes / flies in the open mouth

Alone- how I came in / that’s how I’m going out
