Hiding In My Hoodie - Cockroach Lyrics

Beer stains on his shirt and mud on my shoes
There's a cockroach in my house and he's singing the blues
Help me barricade my bedroom door
Everyone's got good and evil in their soul
Everybody's fighting for a sense of self-control
Playing outside with my toys after it gets dark
Following cockroaches past thousands of graveyards
In my school, the supermarket, movie theater, street and bar
In my church, concert, festival, park
Her mom running out the mall, oh my!
Red's the color of my shirt and the stain of your shoes
I was hanging with my friends and now I'm confused
As to why I'm lying here on the floor, ohh
Who knew that I'd be afraid to go outside?
Cockroaches cluttered in the streets threatening to tear me from the inside
My faith is demolished and all my friends are gone
Want to help but don't know how, so I just keep singing these sad songs
To get rid of cockroaches, they say you gotta clean your house
How can we hear a voice seventy trillion miles from the clouds
While there are seventy million more cockroaches than people living in this house?
I don't care anymore, baby, BURN IT ALL DOWN!
Red's the color of my shirt and the stain of your shoes
You heard it from my loved ones, I tell 'em that I'm not confused
As to why I'm dying here on the floor, ohh
Red's the color of my shirt and the stain of your shoes
Think and pray all you want, but this is the life you choose
Where burying bodies feels more like a chore, ohh
While you're stacking wealth and power in your hands
They traumatize their child so that he might be a man
But I won't wait around for my time to come
I live as I die, the bullet of a gun
Dress me in a fancy shirt and my favorite shoes
Cry all the tears they need to grieve their baby blue
Though it seems like a while, I swear I'll see them soon
Pray to your god you won't see me soon
