lyrics

Shoot the poison in
Kill to cure's the order of the day
Let the fun begin
A little bit of death can ease the way
Scouring the veins
Clawing all the way to make it well
Is it worth the pain?
Road to normals always paved with hell

Do you see, A running theme that goes through all that went before?
Tragedy is always seen instead of getting better

Pump the venom in, let it begin
If it makes you better
Fill the poison pen and scratch the lines
A time bomb in a letter
All the things you had, denied in flame
How soon they forget
Kill half of what you are
If it makes you better

Dangerous appetites, Feed the growing mouth that's never full
Never sleep at night
Shoot the moon and feel the lunar pull
Covering your eyes
Above your head the sheep are gathering wool
Halo made of lies
Ugly comes from something beautiful

Do you see, A running theme that goes through all that went before?
Tragedy is always seen instead of getting better

Pump the venom in, let it begin
If it makes you better
Fill the poison pen and scratch the lines
A time bomb in a letter
All the things you had, denied in flame
How soon they forget
Kill half of what you are
If it makes you better

Pump the venom in, let it begin
If it makes you better
Fill the poison pen and scratch the lines
A time bomb in a letter
All the things you had, denied in flame
How soon they forget
Kill half of what you are
The brightest fallen star
Collect it in a jar
If it makes you better

Mike Dees is a Singer/Songwriter from Memphis, TN. A prolific purveyor of Southern-fried power pop and veteran of many bands, he recently struck out on his own and hasn't looked back since. Whether playing solo acoustic or with a full-on rock band, he always delivers heartfelt (if slightly acidic) lyrics and ragged jangle rock.

His new album, "Something Like Glitter" will be released in 2014.
