Coffin Confessions

[Verse 1] Cobwebbed corners where the dreams get slaughtered, Ashtray’s full, but the pain ain't watered. Rats in the walls, schemes get authored, Cracked vinyl spins, the truth distorted. Coughin’ on the air, breath heavy with ghosts, Concrete veins where the city still boasts. Evil in the alleys, where the shadows toast, Grip tighter than a fist when the devil gets close. [Chorus] Shadows in the smoke, shadows in the smoke, Whispers in the wind, cut throats, no hope. Shadows in the smoke, shadows in the smoke, They don't want the truth, they just want the choke. [Verse 2] Splinters in my spine from the weight of the grind, Clock hands broken, can't rewind time. Hunger in the belly, got the beast inclined, And the devil in the details, contracts signed. Chalk outlines, the city's white tattoos, Every step cursed, pay the reaper his dues. Ominous bells hum, the air gets bruised, Even angels here got scuffed-up shoes. [Chorus] Shadows in the smoke, shadows in the smoke, Whispers in the wind, cut throats, no hope. Shadows in the smoke, shadows in the smoke, They don't want the truth, they just want the choke.
