Painful and real slow
There's no coming back
You swallow the shit that people say
And bagged drugs that never work enough
Blackbird, come the break of dawn
Bright eyes to bat and hide behind
Painful and real slow
But I know they're just for show, honey
Blackbird, come the break of day
And white hall to pace, and wait for it
I'd write the nails in your hands
I get it all of the time
When we were young and hit like hammers
Painful and real slow
And I know it’s real slow, honey
And I know it’s real slow, honey
When 99% of us is failure
There's no going back
And I know it's too slow, honey
Painful and real slow
Styrofoam coffee cups
When we were young and hit like hammers
And I know it's real slow, honey
Painful and real slow
Painful and just for show
I'd write the nails in your hands
Black rooms to babysit
Stare at the wheel and fall apart
When 99% of us is failure
Walk outside, get in the car
Walk outside, look at the sky
The TV's on and I turn it off
And I know it’s real slow, honey
