Candy Coated Lyrics - Darkhorse - Crazytown

Now can you hear the cling clang of my ball and chain gang? 

The sound of heavy metal that tastes like cellophone 

Collapsing every vein like umbrellas in heavy rain 

My passion is pain 

I do dirt to bury shame 

I'm victimized, institution's no solution 

A place where you're defenseless and guilt's the prosecution 

Where necks are bound into Slipknots of shallow souls 

Walkin' narrow roads to be hung frok gallows poles 

Nobody knows me, success has exposed me 

To narrow minded souls with goals to overthrow me 

Suppose that I chose to live my life low key 

Would you act like you could teach? 

When there is nothing you can show me 

Don't you understand I'm the head of the class 

A straight 'A' student not regretting the past 

You see I'm ok now but I don't think it will last 

(Haa, haa, haa, haa) 

Because reality is something I can't seem to grasp 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now 

(Haa, haa, haa) 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

We only dig deeper by runnin' away 

It's deeper than what it looks like 

We never got an equal shot so we took mics 

Packed the candy coated pain in the first pipe 

That said my name and the candy coated pain is the worst type 

You got it nice my every day is like your worst night 

The world is diggin' in my wounds screaming out I bet it hurts right? 

But it hurts more 

(Hurts more) 

I got regrets but 

I'm glad I took the prize behind the first door 

What's the hurt for? 

Everybody hungers peace but they thirst war 

It's crazy I'm not complaining 'cause I probably would have tried better 

And if the people that I trusted weren't lie tellers 

Keep your candy coated pain to make the vibe better 

Now all the songs I'm writing sound like suicide letters 

You think I'm ok now but I don't think it will last 

(Haa, haa, haa, haa) 

'Cause reality is something I can't seem to grasp 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now 

(Haa, haa, haa) 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death 

(Haa, haa) 

(Closer to death ) 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

We only dig deeper by runnin' away 

Guilty or innocent whatever pick the verdict 

Sometimes a perfect picture's not so perfect 

Thought I could reverse the mixture it isn't really worth it 

'Cause my life seems to work no matter how hard curse it 

I only know a little but I feel so much 

The pain brings me down but it reveals the rush 

See I got my arms up just to shield the dust 

'Cause I lust for the things I can't seem to touch 

Arrest me if I follow you 

You congest me, I'm so hollow from your gift 

You infect me when I cut you 

Still the same, still insane 

I think I love you 

(But fuck you) 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now 

(Haa, haa, haa) 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

You think I'm ok now but I don't think it will last 

(Haa, haa, haa, haa) 

'Cause reality is something I can't seem to grasp 

Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain 

We only dig deeper by runnin' away
