It Ain’t Like That
[Intro]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
There I was, laid out on a table
Screamin' sweat and bare feet to the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, I'd not soften
Things that cut and burn so often
But I sit, think of somethin'
Scared to face the dying nothin'
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Where I go is when I feel I'm able
How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore
[Pre-Chorus]
In my mind, not forgotten
Feel as though a tooth were rotten
Behind the smile, a tongue that's slippin'
Buzzards cry when flesh is rippin'
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore, ah
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Here I sit, writing on the paper
Trying to think of words you can't ignore
[Outro]
In my eyes, what I'm lacking
Score at face, a ten for slacking
Sign the deal, set in motion
Smaller fish; so huge, the ocean
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
