Bare Fist Blues Club - Calico Jack

Every time I think I'm at rock bottom I still sink
Going around in circles downward spiral at the ice rink
And everything that she says or he says stinks
But it's just my mind playing tricks every moment that I blink

The prison walls are high and the prison walls are tall
And when I try to escape it's off the cliff I fall
Trying to grab ledges but they just break away
Falling victim to foul play as if they're here to say

There's no way up
There's no way back
You're sinking down, down, down
Rope can't cut more slack
We can't cut more slack
It ain't dope cuz your mind racing and you fallin with your stomach chasing cuz you lack the heart

For the art, you'll never start
You'll just burn
Like a painting on a post card without respect earned
And one day your parents say that you'll win the fern
But it'll always just be out of reach like us for which you yearn

Stern talking to, a word outside
Step through the door where you lack the mind
And then you find that you were wrong about that
But with a side salad, you killed Calico Jack

There's no way up
There's no way back
You're sinking down, down, down
Rope can't cut more slack
We can't cut more slack
It ain't dope cuz your mind racing and you fallin with your stomach chasing cuz you can't grab this

You can't grab this
You can't grab this
You fall in with you stomach chasing cuz you can't grab this

You can't grab this
You can't grab this
You falling with your stomach chasing cuz you can't grab this

The ledges fall by, a swing and a miss
Hoping for the best as we ignore the snake's hiss
Grabbing at whatever passes our way, hoping to pull ourselves out so we won't stay
But I can't grab this
I can't grab this
I'm falling with my stomach chasing cuz I can't grab this

But you can grab this
And you did grab this
Cuz you grabbed me and you pulled me cuz you could grab this

Every time I think I'm at rock bottom I sink still
Going around in circles downward spiral lack of free will
But then a hand descends from above
And I grab it like there's no tomorrow and it's my only chance at love
