Six Feet Deeper.
By 
Phillip Hennessy
 
 Well, I'm drinkin and thinkin 
I'm not getting Drunk 
It's Mad, and it's Bad 
cuz the bottle ain't sunk 
My Mind is all over, 
I'm Done with it, now 
But my Body says More, 
and I'll Get it, ..Somehow. 
Sometimes a Gift, 
and sometimes a Curse 
when you don't get the Lift, 
it makes you feel Worse 
You can do it all over, 
and over again. 
at the End of it all, 
You still get the Pain 
So fuck it, I'm Dead. 
I don't Matter no more, 
and No one will know 
what i Came here For 
A born-again Person 
With no axe to grind 
and an innocent feeling 
that the World will be Kind. 
Well, I'm Done with this now, 
I was Done with it, Then 
I'm so fuckin sure 
That I'll do it Again 
and again, and again 
till I can't take no more 
They'll find me, One day 
in a heap. On the floor. 
How much Lower 
does it get than Dead 
Six feet Deeper 
than in your Head. 
Up to heaven 
Down to earth 
you're not here Long, 
for what it's worth 
Been there, done it, 
All before. 
Here we Go, 
Let's get some More ! 
How Deep does it get, 
when yer Deeper in Debt 
and all you can Do, 
is try to Forget 
Six feet Deeper, 
Six feet Deeper
