The Roach That Broke The Camels Back

Lyrics

the roach fell out my spliff again
and I know it sounds so small
so insignificant
a stupid reason
but thats the thing that broke it all
of all the things it took
the last thing wed touch
whoda thought
thats whatd made the camel fall

funny how it happens, aint it
the dumbest little slip
a stupid little fumble at the bottom of your grip
expected it woulda been something kinda big after all the hurt that passed like their dirty little laughter did so
its almost funny now, what it took to make the camel crack after makin peace with things that shoulda ended it all back to back as you lived through worse than lonely alone while keeping bad habits as friends as bad habits that turned the world cold while stoned an just watched whole years go up in smoke like we never thought theyd go but now its almost funny to know those years wasnt for me at all, and
that this is what made the camel colapse and fall, but...

the roach fell out my spliff again
and I know it sounds so small
so insignificant
a stupid reason
but thats the thing that broke it all
of all the things it took
the last thing wed touch
whoda thought
thats whatd made the camel fall

funny how it happens, aint it
how your mood can shift a bit an even the little things can itch when a joke that sounds like nothin really hits an makes you feel a little sick an a harmless bit of bullshit gets a shadow when it rips to make a stupid little sentence really show you where you sit as the future falls to pieces from the bottom of your grip an you notice closeness starts to focus on gloating when everybody else knows the script like the shape of somethin secret you just missed an the world will take the piss an demands you stand up an man up an pretend it didnt twist but theres a funny way the air goes thick before you know what made it shift but as soon as you notice it itll kick you in the dick, itll punch you till your down an itll fill your face with spit an noone will be around while it cracks your jaw till you smell it in your shit, have you spittin out memories like broken sugar, bone, an grief have you swallowin your own blood an callin copper bittersweet an stamp around your chest till every breath forgets its beat an itll post your ribs up public to make a punchbag of your pride while your hearts up in the corner cos its too fucked up to fight, uppercut your stomach till your feelings hit your throat with a boot on your backbone to leave your softest parts on show, but...

the roach fell out my spliff again
and I know it sounds so small
so insignificant
I wish it could have been different
that we could have stood so tall
of all the things it took
the last thing wed touch
whoda thought
thats whatd made the camel fall

the roach fell out my spliff again
and I know it sounds so small
so insignificant
a stupid reason
but thats the thing that broke it all

tell the oak your worries
tell the urn your pain
tell the roach you love it
dont let this spliff burn out in vain
aint no use in all this ruin
if it dies and leaves no stain
