A Short About A Guy That Dies Every Night Lyrics - Hella Personal Film Festival - Open Mike Eagle

I heard some lucky guys live a hundred lives 

And wake up with a stomach full of half-dead butterflies 

I'm full of dread from the faith of the evening 

As each nightfall brings the blades of the guillotine 

Some nights struck down trying to stand on my power 

Most nights on my belly playing dead like a coward 

Well I should tighten my muscles legs is frozen 

Don't speak to eek out a couple extra moments 

I'm trying to slow my vitals, doing silent breathing 

The life of an off-beat show during pilot season 

Execs wanna see who can cancel me the most 

So fast I never get the chance to be a ghost 

The lifespan of a house fly traded for an eon in the sand with my mouth dry 

Give me torture give me terrible marching orders 

Give me dirty water give me anything except shorter 

Gunned down when it's sun down 

Murdered in cold blood everyday 

Don't hope two springs eternal like you don't know 

I'm about to be gunned down when its sun down 

About to be choked out by the night 

If I could just live for more than one day I might be gold 

I'm hoping one day that my carcass is hard boiled 

I'm stuck in the cycle of a cartoon gargoyle 

And if I live to be 101 days old 

I go straight up to the sun and get charbroiled 

But maybe everlasting life is a curse though 

Eternity is drama making life the commercial 

But no thirty second advert has enough? 

When all the the night vision camera footage is a snuff film 

Crush to kill, cycle of the sun is? 

I fell on so many swords my stomach's got a keloid 

I've died on the phone, I've died over e-mail 

I've died in the silence with the limbs of a tree fell 

And lived for a brief spell and lose consciousness 

In the middle of a brief yell 

Waking in a deep well 

That started all over when the pendulum thrift switch 

But which two gods birthed this to begin with? 

Gunned down when it's sun down 

Murdered in cold blood everyday 

Don't hope two springs eternal like you don't know 

I'm about to be gunned down when its sun down 

About to be choked out by the night 

If I could just live for more than one day I might be gold 

Not everyday like enemies and Power Rangers 

Up against a homicidal flower stranger 

I even heard a son growing in the upper wombs 

Real fucked up to sit and have to watch the others bloom 

Born on the train to? 

It's Groundhog's Day if?
