Sunnyland

from Let Me Take You Home by L. Mounts

lyrics

There's this place where dreams go to die
And no one cares for their lives
There's acid flowing in the streets
The junkies are living final weeks

Well the children of coke are just trying to keep their own grasps
And the meth taking madmen are flirting with their epitaphs
And the heroin harlots are lying asleep in the sand
And the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland

Every house on the block is decayed
Every heart is all tattered and frayed
Every girl's lost the swing in their step
Every guy's headed towards sudden death

And the speed freaks are tweaking and screaming for all of their lives
And the crack whores are slouching in pain wishing that they would die
And the dealers are stealing the night just to take one more stand
And the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland

As I stare into the eyes
Of the lost and broken lives
Of the ones who just didn't care
And are now pissing into the air

And the static from broken TVs is the sole sign of hope
As the damned and the damaged take part in trying to cope
And they scream to skies wishing God would lend them a hand
But the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland

All of the people are sick
Getting worse every day that they stick
To their habits that just slowly kill
All their feelings and prospers and will

And they're fighting to just get away from the dying course
As they fall to their knees and they cry out for Heaven's remorse
There's a group of dead souls and Lucifer's joining the band
And the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland
