lyrics

Center of the World (S. Sinner)
I haven't slept in days and my stomach feels like a shrunken head controlling me
I can barely see, these cloud veiled stars only left to light my way
And when I wake I'll have even less idea just where I am
But that's the plan. Not going anywhere at all
The only place I'm going is away
Creeping4 away from the center of the world
Cause I can't stay and watch it all implode
You can say what you want about the fight or flight
I tried but my blood has boiled close to boiling dry
As for that Jesus, he will forgive you I'm sure cause that is his way
And I will someday, when these clouds of steam have washed out my eyes
But its not wise, not right now for me to stay
So I'll fade away, I'll slip away. Its the only way I'm sure we'll be safe

Footnotes
4 Original lyric was 'Slipping away' I messed that up when recording it. -Scott

American Sinner Maryland

American Sinner is a rock n' roll stiletto switchblade dance along the edge of a knife that opens up for stabbing.

They got it all so when these boys are randy to rock, you better let 'em. ... more
