Sugartooth

[00:06.01] He wasn't really known for breaking the rules

[00:08.68] When he arrived in the second year of my high school

[00:12.40] He wasn't so much of a twist of fate

[00:15.33] As a short turn up from a Southern state

[00:18.51] He was born with a sweet tooth he couldn't beat

[00:21.43] Always trying to find himself something sweet

[00:25.15] All that he found was the trouble and me

[00:28.07] Or maybe trouble just found him

[00:31.00] It was hard to hide that his heart had scars

[00:33.92] He would stay up late talking to the stars

[00:37.37] People tried to blame him for making bad choices

[00:40.29] When he was only listening to the voices

[00:43.48] And searching for some kind of deeper truth

[00:46.67] Between the lines and the Bible and living proof

[00:49.85] There's no point now to judge him in vain

[00:52.78] If you haven't been there, you don't know the pain

[00:59.95] He was a liar, but not a fraud

[01:02.35] Living proof that there was no God

[01:05.80] Just the Devil stiff as a rod

[01:08.71] A slave to a sugartooth

[01:13.50] His life became more than he could take

[01:16.15] He found a bad habit he couldn't break

[01:19.35] Nothing could tame him and nothing could hold him

[01:22.27] He only took the pills when the doctor told him

[01:25.72] Looking to hard for that something sweet

[01:28.63] To make his life feel less incomplete

[01:31.56] What in the hell are you gonna do

[01:34.75] When the world has made its mind up about you?

[01:41.65] He was a liar, but not a fraud

[01:44.30] Living proof that there was no God

[01:47.76] Just the Devil stiff as a rod

[01:50.42] A slave to a sugartooth

[01:53.81] He wanted to be a better man

[01:56.47] Then life kicked him down like an old tin can

[01:59.92] He would give you the shirt on his back

[02:02.85] If not for the sugartooth

[02:07.89] They found him lying on his bed

[02:10.28] With a gun in his hand and a quiet head

[02:13.74] His broken heart, now, is finally gone

[02:17.19] But I know that he had to hurt for too long

[02:19.85] To think he had fought it all on his own

[02:23.03] Just to lose the battle and die alone

[02:25.95] After so many years of feeling the loss

[02:29.15] He finally made his way back home

[02:35.25] And I heard they put what was left in a box

[02:38.44] And took it to a place called Jesus Rock

[02:41.62] And scattered him all over jagged mound

[02:44.28] As a symbol to all that the peace had been found

[02:47.47] But not for a son who is left behind

[02:50.67] With a hand stuck reaching back in time

[02:53.59] To a place in which you can never unwind

[02:56.78] I hope he found something so sweet

[03:03.17] He was a liar, but not a fraud

[03:06.36] Living proof that there was no God

[03:09.82] Just the Devil stiff as a rod

[03:12.47] A slave to a sugartooth

[03:15.37] He wanted to be a better man

[03:18.30] But life kicked him down like an old tin can

[03:22.02] He would give you the shirt on his back

[03:24.40] If not for a sugartooth

[03:29.45] Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth

[03:41.68] Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth

[03:53.94] Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth

[04:06.02] Ooh, ooh, ooh, a slave to a sugartooth
