Verse
Light Brown Suicide
Jeremy Hurtt•
she's my only obsession
Verse 1
Picked up a ragMade sure my hands were cleanSkinning a deerAt the age of 17Opened up a canWith the name of a Danish townI pulled out my lipAnd put that dip on down
Bridge
They say you keep on going astrayYou ain't gonna make it that longBut I do things my own damn wayAnd I will until my life is gone
Chorus
It's a lightBrownSuicideI'm taking the fun routeTo that long, long nightAnd it's a slow, slow successionIt's a never-ending slideAs I make my processionThrough a light brown suicide
Verse 2
Light through a bottleHas the hue that draws me inAlways full throttleBack to the bar againShe said she was takenBut I wasn't fully convincedUntil my nose was breakinAnd I blamed Jack and Jim
Bridge
They say you keep on drinking all dayYou ain't gonna make it that longBut I do things my own damn wayAnd I will until my life is gone
Chorus
And it's a lightBrownSuicideI'm taking the fun routeTo that long, long nightAnd it's a slow, slow successionIt's a never-ending slideAs I make my processionThrough a light brown suicide
Verse 3
The young girl who birthed herSame cheap white as meOther of her desertersDad was a black teenRaised by the right peopleTo make sure the light would shineAnd I believe in JesusSomehow he made her mine
Bridge
She changed the life I had madeShe brought me another worldNow I do things a different waySacrificed myself to please that girl
Chorus
It was a lightBrownSuicideI've walked out from the darknessInto a brand new lightShe's my only obsessionShe's my never-ending prizeAs I make my processionFrom that light brown suicide She's my only obsessionShe's my never-ending prizeI have been rebornFrom that light brown suicide
