  • Your cold words deafen
    And silence long forgotten
    The logic never reclaimed

    The anger rises
    Sometimes there's no surrender
    No white flag flies
    You won't like me when I'm angry

    Stop talking to me
    Just like I don't even bleed
    This cross is heavy when
    You're my soul sucker

    Get out of my face
    The past is running in place
    The silvers cut me as you
    Suck the soul right out of me

    Soul sucker

    You bite down deeper
    Your tongue can cut my heart out
    You've passed the point of return yeah

    The storm lightens
    Get ready for the whiplash
    Don't think, don't speak
    Don't, my patience turns to violence

    Stop talking to me
    Just like I don't even bleed
    This cross is heavy when
    You're my soul sucker

    Get out of my face
    The past is running in place
    The silvers cut me as you
    Suck the soul right out of me

    Soul sucker

    I'm just a solitary man who wants to live
    A quiet life before where I cease to exist
    I don't need resistance for the things I can't control
    Just turn away and let it go

    Stop talking to me
    Just like I don't even bleed
    This cross is heavy when
    You're my soul sucker

    Get out of my face
    The past is running in place
    The silvers cut me as you
    Suck the soul right out of me Writer/s: JOHN OSBOURNE, KEVIN CHURKO

  • Pryce from Litchfield, Nhozzy was sober when he made this song
