Black Cat

from What of Doom? by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

We all fall down don’t frown child the wild are exiled
Black cat was spat at, scat, a fat rat sat,
With that, turn back my hat, the crack, the back, the black cat, came back, a scrap, my rap, don’t clap, bootstrap, no map, hubcap, speed trap knee cap, big scab, I had a tad, go bad, I’m sad comrade, I’m mad

I am followed by a demon of bad luck
Fuck fuck motherfuck
I’m fucking stuck
I fucking I yell
I explode as well
13 days I dwell
13 ways I fell
And you can’t tell
But I tried like hell

The black cat came back I begin to grin again
I’m cut like a jackolantern but inside I don’t hide or abide I shine and know I am mine one time the bus line missed my sign and I kept going wind blowing knowing I’d be lost but I exhaust every place with a trace of space for a home and face the chase of a foot race just in case I keep the pace

I am followed by a demon of bad luck
Fuck fuck motherfuck
I’m fucking stuck
I fucking I yell
I explode as well
13 days I dwell
13 ways I fell
And you can’t tell
But I tried like hell

A girl I knew came to my rescue I said who are you to do me kindness I am blindness mindless lifeless golden hair will fair well in despair cannot repair this empty stare I cannot hate child it’s late dreams don’t wait it was fate to hate, every smile she’d create, the child knew to go wild, I’m too cursed, and I’m the worst, person to love you first, because my hearts breaks, when she takes, what she makes, in me and I put her, and us as we were, and have to defer, an amateur, saboteur, put her shit in a box, that locks, sent it off, no knock, I cock, a gun, and run, only from, the one, that left, the theft, the depth, black cat sat at that crash, I come in last, in the past, an outcast, and I snapped, I am trapped

The black cat followed me around for years sat through tears and fears and he clears the screams in my ears
We all fall down but we don’t always get up i never let up but I was set up
