Shogun Shato - Overdose Lyrics

We're taking loads of blows
Just because we've been a couple rounds, we think we know the ropes
The funny truth is we're afraid of things we hope the most
And I think Cupids got an arrow, came with loads of bows
All I see is loads of foes
Armed and ready, aiming at me steady while I'm on the water
To escape the slaughter I had no choice but to row the boat
Clear mind, yeah I came back with a sober flow
If love's a drug then why don't people think that you can overdose

I needed peace of mind
But when I sleep at night your image sits beneath my eyes
You never leave my mind
You gave your heart but turned around and made off with a piece of mine
I can't be at peace because that's a piece that I can't leave behind
Pieces that I need to find, went in search
Fields that I traverse are always empty
The pieces that I have right now aren't plenty but I'll make it work
Only goal escape the hurt
I'm seeking solitude while dodging arrows that invade my shirt
Not Robin Hood but trust he hunts with a bow
Try running and you'll only feel uncomfortably slow
Fired shots at where I keep it safe,
Arrow hits, a piece it breaks
Now I'm watching helplessly as yet another piece escapes
Hopeless to compete with fate
Powerless to beat the pain
Only silver lining, you might find a spark that leads to flame
Lose the fire and then the cold gets trapped in our bones
Guess that's the reason our reactions are slow, and

We're taking loads of blows
Just because we've been a couple rounds, we think we know the ropes
The funny truth is we're afraid of things we hope the most
And I think Cupids got an arrow, came with loads of bows
All I see is loads of foes
Armed and ready, aiming at me steady while I'm on the water
To escape the slaughter I had no choice but to row the boat
Clear mind, yeah I came back with a sober flow
If love's a drug then why don't people think that you can overdose

Been taking loads of these
Few rounds in the ring, I'm practicing so I can cope with ease
Mayweather with the step, skipping to death, working both the feet
Just so I don't know defeat
I know it's not a fight but look, I might prefer some broken teeth
It's getting bouldery
Rocky mountains, don't know how the hell we're getting over these
I've seen some brothers turning to the Lord and pray on rosaries
Others wander hopelessly
Sucked in by a field of flowers, turns out it was potpourri
Out on the open sea
A sound that broke the peace
A swarm of sirens swimming swiftly to destroy the fleet
There's no point of running anytime they're in pursuit
That's silly moves
You're playing in a game that you were fixed to lose
But if I spit the truth, you hit the loot?
Those feelings are the reason broken souls are climbing trees to try and get the fruit
On a journey can't control the gears or even pick the route
Really we're just running from a feeling we're addicted to

We're taking loads of blows
Just because we've been a couple rounds, we think we know the ropes
The funny truth is we're afraid of things we hope the most
And I think Cupids got an arrow, came with loads of bows
All I see is loads of foes
Armed and ready, aiming at me steady while I'm on the water
To escape the slaughter I had no choice but to row the boat
Clear mind, yeah I came back with a sober flow
If love's a drug then why don't people think that you can overdose

We're taking loads of blows
Just because we've been a couple rounds, we think we know the ropes
The funny truth is we're afraid of things we hope the most
And I think Cupids got an arrow, came with loads of bows
All I see is loads of foes
Armed and ready, aiming at me steady while I'm on the water
To escape the slaughter I had no choice but to row the boat
Clear mind, yeah I came back with a sober flow
If love's a drug then why don't people think that you can overdose
