lyrics

There must be something better than diesel-breath demons
To see me through these times
Mind games and pin the blame on the weakling
Step up and claim your/the prize

I’ve tried hiding but I think they can smell me
Each time I pass them all by
I can’t be handled by razor-ripped fingers
No matter how carefully they try

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
I just can’t shake these diesel-breath demons
No matter how hard I try

I've had my fill of near-sighted snipers
Firing those rusted darts
A straight shot would do less damage and we could
Write the end out in the ink of my heart

I’ve tried talking but they usually just tell me
I don’t think they care for my tone
Sometimes it seems the road I'm walking
Is paved with quicksand stones

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
I just can’t dodge these near-sighted snipers
No matter how quick I run by

I like the winter, you get what it sells you
Truth in advertising, and when the
Snow falls and covers the dead things
It makes a breathtaking lie

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
I just can’t shake these diesel-breathed demons
No matter how hard I try

Brandon Mullis Augusta, Georgia

I'm a primarily acoustic singer/songwriter who's been writing lyrical folk/Americana music for more than 20 years. I play all over the eastern USA, and my influences range from Neil Young to Alice in Chains to Jason Isbell to David Allan Coe. I love good melodies and heartfelt stories, and I try to pass along the best ones I can.
