lyrics

I should've asked what kind of mask you wear
when you go basking in the smell
of a thousand little leeches singing
"baby, you'd be better on the shelves"

I could have asked you what your head was on
when you were bashing in the brains
a thousand little pieces singing
"baby, you'd be better off the same"

you'd get them off and tell them each you were
another hobby for the mouth
a salivated creature singing
"baby, I'm a lioness" sell

can't let him break you down
let him pray for you

I should have asked you what a handle was
it took a lot for me to stay
I'm better I'm at peace I'm alone
I'm better than I say

so grind you little saver and hold it for yourself
the pounds
we'll kindly look at you when we need another round from the shelf

don't let them break you down
let them pray for you

[it sounds like your woman got the sevens and eights]
[try and understand what I do]
nobody was fine nobody heard the news
[I'm sorry about your woman and we're sobbing for you]
[but it's how I choose to re-earth]

nobody helped you
nobody had the nerve

about

gavin shea Florida

"...not only a fantastic Michael Caine impersonator, but a promising up-and-comer as well. His Alive and Well EP generated quite a lot of buzz upon its release, and for good reason. If Gavin continues on his current trajectory, we should see him become one of Nashville’s heavy hitters in the not so distance future."
