Sugartooth |
He wasn’t really known for breaking the rules |
When he arrived in the second year of my high school |
He wasn’t so much of a twist of fate |
As a short turn up from a Southern state |
He was born with a sweet tooth he couldn’t beat |
Always trying to find himself something sweet |
All that he found was a trouble and me |
Or maybe trouble just found him |
It was hard to hide that his heart had scars |
He would stay up late talking to the stars |
People tried to blame him for making bad choices |
When he was only listening to the voices |
And searching for some kind of deeper truth |
Between the lines and the Bible and living proof |
There’s no point now to judge him in vain |
If you haven’t been there, you don’t know the pain |
He was a liar, but not a fraud |
Living proof that there was no God |
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod |
A slave to a sugartooth |
His life became more than he could take |
He found a bad habit he couldn’t break |
Nothing could tame him and nothing could hold him |
He only took the pills when the doctor told him |
Looking to help for the something sweet |
To make his life feel less incomplete |
What in the hell are you gonna do |
When the world has made its mind up about you? |
He was a liar, but not a fraud |
Living proof that there was no God |
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod |
A slave to a sugartooth |
He wanted to be a better man |
Then life kicked him down like an old tin can |
He would give you the shirt on his back |
If not for a sugartooth |
They found him lying on his bed |
With a gun in his hand and a quiet head |
His broken heart, now, is finally gone |
But I know that he had to hurt for too long |
To think he had fought it all on his own |
Just to lose the battle and die alone |
After so many years of feeling the loss |
He finally made his way back home |
And I heard they put what was left in a box |
And took it to a place called Jesus Rock |
And scattered him all over jagged mound |
As a symbol to all that the peace had been found |
But not for a sign is left behind |
With a hand stuck reaching back in time |
To a place in which you can never unwind |
I hope he found something so sweet |
He was a liar, but not a fraud |
Living proof that there was no God |
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod |
A slave to a sugartooth |
He wanted to be a better man |
But life kicked him down like an old tin can |
He would give you the shirt on his back |
If not for a sugartooth |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth |
