lyrics

ometimes I get so sad and mean and blue
Sometimes I get so sad I don't know what I should do
'Cause I done things that I can't forgive -
Wanna give up on my right to live
But I will never cross that line -
'Cause I'm a killing myself one piece at a time

CHORUS

One piece at a time Lord, one piece at a time
Well I'm a killing myself one piece at a time
Well I'm killing my lungs with an old cigar
I'm killing myself drinking at a bar
Since I began, I'm doing fine
Just a killing myself one piece at a time

Sometimes I realize I'm dirty and mean -
Dark things in my head like you ain' t seen
I used to worry that I might explode -
And do some damage, you never know
But these days I keep myself in line
By killing myself one piece at a time

CHORUS...

I even bought my coffin on time
Just a killing myself one piece at a time

CHORUS...

Well the way I eat 's like swallowing a gun -
I burn my eyes looking at the sun
Dance on my grave and f#ck in the pine
Just a killing myself one piece at a time
Just a killing myself one piece at a time

about

When Mark Messerly and Brian Ewing went on hiatus, it wasn’t even official. Cincy band Wussy kept Messerly busy and Ewing ... more had a similar schedule with Catalog Cowboys. But somehow they still found time to do acoustic gigs. In 2009, the pair resolved to celebrate their 15th year together by adding Sean Rhiney and Bill Donabedian as their backing band and turn up the volume. less
