Though GDLM was initially having difficulty finding lyrics and a theme to fit the song, several events inspired an extreme case of anxiety, insomnia, and a 4am venture onto pen and paper.
lyrics
Well,
Its a losing hand
Cards that I've been dealt
But I've got one up my sleeve
Its a spade, for all I've felt
Whether its a love lost
Or things in my way
Another thorn diggin up my side
I pull it out, and shove it in your face
Cold and bitter, like my whiskey, taste
Drink a river to drown in all my rage
Bridge burned, now spit salt for a chase
Its retribution to save face.
Come on-
Take me away, take me away
Walk the fine line
Give it a shake, make the mistake, by
Ticking on borrowed time.
Go ahead and make my day
Ive got my pride.
Slander my name, piss on my grave
Sure, I’ll gets mine
You’re playing with a loaded gun
Hope you’re having fun.
Spin the reel and press your luck
I’m the trigger to shoot your smug fucking mouth off.
BANG, BANG, BANG, PUNK.
Im a bettin man,
With cards that I've been dealt
Cause I've got one here, right up my sleeve
Its a club, to crack a skull.
Cause you’re a lost cause
My time you waste
Another fang diggin up my hide
I pull it out, and put you in your place
Cold and bitter, like my whiskey, taste
Drink a river to drown in all my rage
Bridge burned, now spit salt for a chase
Its retribution to save face.
Go-
Take me away, take me away
Walk the fine line
Give it a shake, make the mistake, by
Ticking on borrowed time.
Go ahead and make my day
I've got my pride.
Slander my name, piss on my grave
You know, I’ll get whats mine
You’re playing with a loaded gun, son
Hope you’re having fun
Spin the reel and press your luck
I’m the trigger to shoot your smug fucking mouth off.
BANG BANG BANG, PUNK.
You're playing with fire
You're stoking my ire
And boiling my blood
My morbid desires
All patience expired
You’re calling my bluff
And I don’t give a fuck.
The path to Old Boreas started in mid-2008 when Gargamel de la Morte and Justin Janusaitus began jamming and collaborating
with a slew of local musicians at Rampage in Bridgeport, CT. After 3 years of searching and great tribulation, the two found their new co-collaborators; Jon Gorton and Jay Northrop joined the team in mid-2011. The band currently resides in Trumbull, CT....more
