lyrics

(Verse 1)
Lambs blood on my hands now once again
I just stopped another one from suffering
Wait? Is that the right way?
I got a list of things, that I want to say
A sacrifice is inevitable
If you’re in heaven or no
Somewhere better that’s whole
And you believe in your soul
Woah, let’s go
On the open road, tell me your, goals
I see they don’t line up
Move on, time’s up
Song drops, I find guts
Til then I rhyme dust
I’m running in place
Maybe this time, I made a mistake
Leave my family, alone and disgraced
Blood on the canvas
It’s not my handprints
We both killed that lamb,
I’m not the one who planned it
In the meantime, panic
The plan was that sacrifice was needed
Then we killed the lamb and you just wanted to eat it
(snicker) wow

(Hook)
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs knew it couldn’t stand
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Started slinging her blade and it was dead again
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
At the end of the day it left me worried sick
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
I don’t want it to be over, but look at it

(Bridge)
Look at it, will you look at it
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be over but look at.
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, don’t leave it right here, right in front of me
Like it’s my mother fucking mistake, that I gotta fix, for all of the things you did anyway
And she looked at me, when she walked by
She said that lamb, has gotta die

(Verse 2)
Forlorn ghosts, a new born hope
How do I cope? With this long rope, wrapped around my throat
On these lines I choke, and that last quote, on the last note
It’s coming fast, yo
Don’t let it crash souls, hiding under trap doors
I don’t want to rap for, a pointless reason
Joints are freezing, need some relievin’
Maybe buy some Aleve and move onto next weekend, cause I’m leaving
Think that should make it harder to stay,
Hoping that your ghosts all go away
Had a bad day and I almost broke down
Almost called you, then I had to slow down, because I know now
We were never meant to be, that’s why the lamb is now history
Never meant to be, so it’s history

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 2 transition)
Gathered together, at the start of this letter
Look at us now, nothing but feathers
No nutrients, we’re not producing it
A few memories and a good kiss
I’ll see ya later, I’ll see ya later

(Verse 3)
Hope you found the right way,
If you catch me, hope it’s on a nice day
Hey, I had a few bad ones, had to look away
Faced with a black sun, no light in my life,
One day I’ll find a wife, I’m sorry that it’s not you
Live your whole life, you’re only 22
It’s kind of funny who, we think we are
A year passes, feels so far
I need a tear gas mask, it feels so hard
Water works running, don’t let the dam break
It all started when that lamb broke its damn leg
Yeah, you know what I say

(Hook)
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs knew it couldn’t stand
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Started slinging her blade and it was dead again
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
At the end of the day it left me worried sick
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
I don’t want it to be over, but look at it

(Bridge)
Look at it, will you look at it
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be over but look at.
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, don’t leave it right here, right in front of me
Like it’s my mother fucking mistake, that I gotta fix, for all of the things you did anyway
And she looked at me, when she walked by
She said that lamb, has gotta die

(Verse 4)
A sad funeral, so introduce your soul
Heartache, heartbreak, it’s usual
I’m producing a flow, to try to savor the moment
But I have hope yet, that you won’t forget
Resurrect this lamb as a monument,
To the good times, bad times, sad times
Bad fights, paid a bad price for a hot commodity
That type of love felt like an oddity
Never forget the journey, our odyssey
It makes it hard to sing
But now I move onto the next being
Hope to raise the lamb to a nice sheep
Gotta pay the cost, whatever the price’ll be.
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs, knew it couldn’t stand
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Got some warmth, and found some nourishment.
