Barely Hanging on Yeah you struggle to survive You've got money for groceries And cash to get high Oh you stare into the sun But it hurts your eyes Oh you like the pain What it does to your mind You hitchhiked a ride A couple counties away Your buddy's got a place He might let you stay A button-down shirt A nice pair of slacks Wake up for nothin' No one's calling you back Bloodshot Late nights Swim through The red wine Bloodshot Half lies Swim through The red Hold onto the fire's coal Sleep until you never get old It's not like you do what you're told Just hold onto the fire Got a paper tongue A finger to your lips She said Hush little baby Gonna sink this ship I'm feeling through the flowers Had a brush with the night You're a one-trick pony On a carousel ride Oh I found a destination We were caught up on a trip Looking for a journey We were calling it quits But no one ever told me It would be this way So break me down easy I got nothing to say Bloodshot Late nights Swim through The red wine Bloodshot Half lies Swim through The red Hold onto the fire's coal Sleep until you never get old It's not like you do what you're told Just hold onto the fire
