Life Is Bad Lyrics - I Am Shelby Lynne - Shelby Lynne

Waste away to nothin' in a dark, dusty tomb 

Lookin' for the traces of what used to be a room 

Wipe away the blood from a tormented brow 

Solve the wicked problem, never asking how 

Rock the sinking vessel till it rests on the bottom 

Count the waves of water, don't remember, forgot them 

Taste the stench of livin' on thin dimes and a dream 

Opening an ear to a painful silent scream 

Oh, life is bad 

Oh no, worst I ever had 

Ache and writhe in agony like a vise on aging bones 

Tar and acid drip from an ice cream cone 

Holding onto a wind that chases the hell 

Fallin' in the darkness of an inner descending well 

Caress transparent night as a demon with a sword 

Speak with an eloquence, never saying a word 

Look into the clarity, then erase it with the muck 

Lying in a pool of consciousness, no such thing as luck 

To being a beginner, to inventing the end 

To livin' with a strangler, never a friend 

Saddle, slobbering beast, trouble is abound 

Ride the devil's bronco, never hit the ground
