Jonah Kagan - The Reaper

 Jonah Kagan - The Reaper

 I woke up one morning restless on a bed of gasoline.
Finally dawned on me the time that I’ve spent shackled in these sheets.
I said life inside these walls ain’t doin' nothin' good for me,
So I burned down that old brick house and I threw away the key.
I headed west out to Montana and said I'm never comin' home.
Closed my eyes and took the wheel and let my chest say where to go.
But I met God in Greenville County, upside down glass on the road.
He said, "Boy, you never warmed up, you got used to being' cold."
Slow up, child.
You’re gonna get burned.
Lay down where you goin’ in a hurry?
There ain’t water in the wine.
You’re gonna live a long, long life.
Slow up, boy.
Shut your mouth.
Stop preachin' 'bout sh** you don’t know about.
You got nothin' but time.
You’re gonna live a long, long life.
Met a girl out in the desert and she told me I was ill.
She said, "I will make you better," and she handed me a pill.
She was pretty, so I thought, "If this won’t help me, nothin' will."
Soon enough, I woke up floating high above the desert hills.
Then all at once, the desert sounded evil and turned black.
I watched what little life was left catch fire and turn to ash.
And I saw my mother standing there with an empty can of gas.
She said, "What the f**k you doin', boy? You get your ass right back."
Slow up, child.
You’re gonna get burned.
Lay down where you goin’ in a hurry?
There ain’t water in the wine.
You’re gonna live a long, long life.
Slow up, boy.
And shut your mouth.
Stop preachin' 'bout sh** you don’t know about.
You got nothin' but time.
You’re gonna live a long, long life.
Slow up, child.
You’re gonna get burned.
Lay down where you goin’ in a hurry?
There ain’t water in the wine.
You’re gonna live a long, long life.
Slow up, boy.
And shut your mouth.
Stop preachin' 'bout sh** you don’t know about.
You got nothin' but time.
You’re gonna live a long, long life.
