Spookwax - Once a River Lyrics

Convention breeds authority
Abe says to his best friend
While spitting out buckshot
Cutting coke with diet pills
Between a rock and a hard place
Between his narc's and his mom's face

One by one
Day to day
Once a river now is stone
Once a boy now is gone

Two friends strung out sideways
It was Abe's 21st birthday
Miscommunication Abe stole nothing
Abe my boy, they almost killed you

Jokes have a little truth to them
Abe says to his best friend
While being strangled by him
It wasn't worth the chum change
Between starving and thriving
Between sinking ships and getting hit
