Couch Cushions and Crumbs

(Intro – Low, Gritty, Broken)

This that moment they don't put in no movies

No guns, no chases — just crusted blood and a dollar short

Flippin' cushions like treasure maps to a better hell

Hopin' for a crumb and findin' yourself

(Verse 1)

I was laid out in boxers, broke and piss—stained

Face down on a couch full of ash and pain

Rummagin' hard through the fabric and dirt

Like maybe I'd find redemption under that hurt

Crumbs and pennies, burnt foil in the crack

Melted plastic like a ghost from way back

I ain't eat in two days, but I ain't lookin' for bread

I'm searchin' for that resin, chasin' the dead

You ever smoke carpet fuzz just hopin' it hit?

Lit up a paper clip and called it a fix?

That's where I was — no lies, no front

Just me, a Bic lighter, and a shame that stunk

(Chorus)

Flippin' cushions for a hit, found shame, not shit

Diggin' through a grave I used to sit and spit

Ain't no pride left, just stains and crumbs

Just a broke—ass soul with a twitchin' tongue

This ain't rockstar pain, it's trailer park truth

When the silence hits harder than your missing tooth

And all that's left is a rusted old spoon

And a prayer that tomorrow don't come too soon

(Verse 2)

I pawned my boots for a bag that was stepped on

Hit it anyway, then sat there 'til the sun was gone

Couldn't feel my feet, but I felt my sin

Knockin' on the walls of the skin I'm in

Roaches crawl like they know what I did

Even they judge me for how far I slid

No calls, no knocks, no food, no light

Just the buzz of regret and a long—ass night

And I swore I was done just last damn week

But withdrawal got a voice that don't let you sleep

So I searched for ghosts in that rotten foam

A dopefiend diggin' through what used to be home

(Chorus)

Flippin' cushions for a hit, found shame, not shit

Diggin' through a grave I used to sit and spit

Ain't no pride left, just stains and crumbs

Just a broke—ass soul with a twitchin' tongue

This ain't rockstar pain, it's trailer park truth

When the silence hits harder than your missing tooth

And all that's left is a rusted old spoon

And a prayer that tomorrow don't come too soon

(Bridge – Slowed, Hollow Voice)

And even if I found somethin', what then?

Another burn in the lungs, another lie to a friend

Another "just one more" to a God I ignore

Another dead stare through a bent screen door

(Final Chorus – Raw, No Harmony)

Flippin' cushions for a hit, found shame, not shit

Memories of highs I swore I'd quit

No fairy tale in this trailer of doom

Just a man chasin' crumbs in a secondhand tomb

This ain't survival, this ain't brave

It's the walk of the damned, diggin' their grave

I was broke but worse, I was hollow

Couch cushions and crumbs — that's what I follow

(Outro – Whispered Grit)

If you ain't been there, don't speak on it

If you have you already know
