Shaving in the Dark

Shaving in the Dark by Johnny Cashpoint

Drinking competition that we both lost long ago
Sunday institution, we're committed to the show
Faces blotchy from the wine, a hundred telling marks
Like shaving with a two-week old blunt razor in the dark

Chorus: What doesn't kill me makes you stronger
And I can't take this any longer
What doesn't kill you makes me weaker
And if it's not better, then it's getting bleaker

I grind the empty bottle in your smug, good-looking face
Because you might look better with a few things out of place
And you repay the compliment, for years of soft abuse,
We should call an ambulance, but, really, what's the use?
You're dabbing at your throat just like you're fumbling for change
I laugh - it looks like I have been shaving in the dark

Chorus x2

Shaving in the Dark - Mother Funker stylee

I was lost in myself, making trouble for a
hopeless cause, I never knew
Read between the lines becomes so clear, lights go down on this
world i see, no I can't see

Reaching for the hand that isn't there
Feeling like theres no one else who cares
Hypocracy of all those oh so far
Now I'm shaving in the dark

On the razors edge, blackened faces see my
shattered soul its so much easier when you know
where to go, going thru the motions like theres nothing wrong
I need to sing a different song

Yeah so anyway, I was err rummaging through the bins outside the back of Superdrug and I found one of those Gilette disposal razors so I thought I'll have that and I took it away
Got some shaving foam off a nearby pimp, he was quite nice
Then I went home and it was f'ing pitch black couldn't see a thing so i basically ended up shaving in the dark
F'ing painful it was I can tell you

Man ya girl cut-up, she misbehaving? Not playing her part?
'Naw dawg she was just shaving in the dark'
But dude she bruised, you knock her to the paving for not playing her part?
'Naw dawg she was just shaving in the dark'

Yeah but man damn look at that shiner
You musta crept up from behind her, kicked her in the vagina
Pushed her to the ground and punched out her eye-liner
'Light went out when she was shaving herself finer'
But shoot dude we all tight
I know whe musta been out at it all night
You gotta beat that ass white if her pockets to light
'Man for real she was just shaving with no light'

Man Please jeez i dont give a fuck
I beat these ho's that dont suck, give up they buck
i swing they duck, kick em in they ass duct
'She was just shaving when lightning struck'
Really you lying off yo ass
I do the mash these chicks get bashed, slashed
If they dont fill up they gash and get my cash
'Power outage, shaving you do the math'

I've wet my face, applied the lather
Did it all just like my father
Told me, how to shave those hairs away

I touch my face, feel the bristles
If I get it wrong don't blow the whistle
The light bulb in the bathroom's gone again

The closest shave, I feel so manly
Get a job with Morgan Stanley
Daddy, is this all you have to say

Sha ha having, I was sha ha having
I was sha ha having in the dark
so . . . when was the last time you backed up?
