"The Reaper" lyrics

"The Reaper"

I grew up in an old coal mine town
People get high and then never come back down
There's a lot of old ghosts that call this place home
There ain't no time to try to right no wrongs

Wasn't long till I got my feel for the pills
A little here and there to help with the way I feel
Now I can't slow it down and I don't sleep
And I've been feeling partial to the company I keep

Turns out they ain't helping me at all
3 down the pipe and I feel myself start to fall
What the hell kinda hole have I dug for myself this time
I reap what I sow but the reaper knows it ain't right

3 days in and sleep left me for dead
There's too many thoughts running through my empty head
Thought I'd found a road at night but there's no light
Now I'm doubting my chances of making it out alive

Turns out they ain't helping me at all
3 down the pipe and I feel myself start to fall
What the hell kinda hole have I dug for myself this time
I reap what I sow but the reaper knows it ain't right

I reap what I sow but the reaper knows it ain't right
