papa frita estupida

Alchemical Fire

my baby shot me down

talk dirty to me

If I were a cowboy I'd jingle when I walked 
I'd squint through fierce blue eyes, nobody'd see inside
it wouldn't matter if they did
a man like me wouldn't have 
a god damned thing to hide

and I wouldn't care what you thought of me
I'd let my pistols and my silence speak
I'd face the world with my bare hands
I'd take those reigns and never give them back

I'm looking for myself in the mirror 
my eyes and lips they don't say shit
it's dangerous to be defined like this

if I could draw my ambition from anything but a straw
I'd probably draw it from a clear blue pond
I'd drink as deep as I could cold and clear like a mirror
except the shame would go down smooth

if I could see clearly for more than a couple days
id never forget my fathers face 
id hear his voice from when I was young saying
you could be anyone my son

I'm looking for myself in the mirror
my eyes and lips they don't say shit
its dangerous to be defined like this

If I were a cowboy I'd jingle when I walked 
I'd squint through fierce blue eyes, nobody'd see inside
it wouldn't matter if they did
a man like me wouldn't have 
a god damned thing to hide
