Pantera Lyrics

Album: Far Beyond Driven

Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks Lyrics

As a child I was given the gift to entertain you. 

But through blood I inherited a life that could destroy you. 

I drink all day. I smoke all day. I've done it all but tap 

The vein. 

These hard lines and sunken cheeks are text book reasons 

All these Christians come alive and try to sell you 

My soul for a goat, yet I'll outlive the old. 

You know it's bad, some may say sad, a hangover is 

Inspiration. Like a junkie I hurt for it. A bad trip, the 

Emptiness. I never sleep, or always sleep a lack of 

Fulfillment to me is me. The big picture. 

These hard lines and sunken cheeks are part of 

What the Christians mean to immortalize my situation. 

My soul for a goat. Yet I'll outlive the old. 

Embrace some religion. To get close to some 

Undivine ejaculation point. 

Simply to thy ghost I cling. 

Simply to thy ghost I reject. 

Simply to thy ghost I give spit. 

Tempter, tempting, tempt me. Molest me. You know that I'll 

Submit. For this is my weakness and it saves me from relationships 

With those Christians. You know they'll sell you my soul 

For a goat. Yet I'll outlive the old.
