Deep in the mud where I lay
Spitting and cursing the day
You had me believe without you
I'm nothing anyway
So I'm down and feeling insane
A whole life against the grain
How could a dream of a sun
Bring so much rain
I've traveled so far to find you
But now I gotta quit
Lock and load
Time to kick the habit
Lock and load
It makes no sense to me
I still carry the weight on my back
And keep hoping it ain't gonna crack
I'm left shattered
A gun to the head
Not so sure if to wish I was dead
Brings me to times of despair
The truth is that nobody cares
I'll rise from the ashes to break
Whatever's left to spare
Lock and load
Time to kick the habit
Lock and load
It makes no sense to me
I thought I found the missing pieces
But still the picture's blur
Too proud to ever name the reasons
I couldn't find a cure
(There's no cure)
I've traveled so far to find you
And now I gotta quit
