Lyrics Dave Goes to Hollywood - The Black Dahlia Murder

Dave Goes to Hollywood

We of blood frozen
So thick it cannot thaw
Joints lubricated
By sweet alcohol
Liver dissolving
Eyelids but heavy sheets
Ignorant bliss and
The bloodshot secrets it will keep
Pills if you wouldn’t mind
Clouds of vapor to stretch out the miles
Hung over we’ll greet a certain death
With flash of chipped tooth smile
Each cities secrets buried beneath
In this campaign of vice
Drinking song’s a reprise
A slow blur existence
Wading knee deep in sin
Clutch at the ulcer
Acknowledge the frailty within
At dawn we begin again
You who have never seen your breath
Are you alive?
This mitten clenches in a fist
To kiss this fucking world goodnight
Destroyer, my only keeper
I kneel unto your amber gates
Pray you’ll kill the ugliness
That sleep won’t take away
Free drinks
They shall not kill us
They only warm our fucking bones
But late at night
I can’t forget your laugh
And everything I used to know
But I’ve never seen so many faces
And I’ve never felt this all alone
Well, I guess this is what I’ve always wanted
A four-wheeled coffin to call home
I will not ask another name
Disappearing faster than they came
Are you having fun?
Are you entertained?
Another heart-shaped bruise
Another friend back home I’ll lose
Am I missing something?
What is left to prove?
Another heated first name fuck
Another stroke of dead man’s luck
Another year I can’t replace
Another tear sent down her face
At dawn we begin again
Tune of death shall bring an end
You who have never seen your breath
Are you alive?
This mitten clenches in a fist
To kiss this fucking hell goodnight
