Don't Stop

  • Like a shotgun in a fist fight
    Like a murder in the daylight
    I’m the poison in the lead pipes
    Open me up and watch the dogs fight

    My angel’s in a headlock
    And I'm dropping bombs from the rooftops
    I ain't waiting on the world to wake up
    You never need luck when you don’t stop

    My new year’s resolution
    ⁃ To choke out my illusions
    ⁃ To cut through the confusion
    ⁃ Keep on digging deep

    We don’t stop
    We keep on digging deep

    The ball drops
    Start ticking to a new clock
    Get back up and take another shot
    Pour the hard liquor and get up

    My new year’s resolution
    ⁃ Is to choke out my illusions
    ⁃ And cut through the confusion
    ⁃ Keep on digging deep

    We don’t stop
    We keep on digging deep

    I give the side-eye to the soundbites
    Pumping stock lies saying shit don’t stink
    Touch a hot nerve when I prefer to think first
    And turn down Jonestown drinks
    Five senses and a brain to move me
    Five ways that they can never use me






    I got the fire
    I got control
    I got the fire
    I got control

    Five senses and a brain to move me

    My new year’s resolution
    ⁃ To choke out my illusions
    ⁃ To cut through the confusion
    ⁃ Keep on digging deep

    We don’t stop
    We keep on digging deep

    I got the fire
    I got the soul
    I got the fire
    I got the soul Writer/s: Ben Anderson, Daniel Oliver, Jacoby Shaddix, Jonathan Hawkins, Mark Vollelunga, Paul Obrien, Will Hoffman
