Won't you take off that checkered mask?
Won't you put down your silver flask?
Couldn't you please?
Can you stop cracking on me?
Those empty beer bottles on me?
Couldn't you please?

The heat was choking me
Smoke making it hard to breathe
The end wasn't hard to see
But in that hell you lit a candle
With my strength gone but heart full
Took me to paradise where I saw with my shadow
Once again.

Hey,
Why do you wear that checkered mask of yours?
Chug from that silver flask of yours?
Won't you tell me?
Why do you crack them on me?
These bottles you emptied with glee?
Would it hurt to tell me?

When did it all go downhill?
Even hell was once tranquil
When did you start to kill?
Start to undo the good you once craved?
There's no soul in this girl you saved
Nothing left of the love she gave
To you

Maybe I'll put on a checkered mask
Run around with a silver flask-
Wouldn't that be neat?
And I'll start cracking on you
Cracking my machete on you
Just you wait and see

Karma, where have you been?
Our paths both ridden with sin
Littered with bottles of gin
The sun doesn't shine here
The fog won't ever clear
Put on your checkered mask, dear

Maybe I'll wear a checkered mask
Run around with a silver flask-
Wouldn't that be neat?

And I'll start cracking on you

Cracking my machete on you
Just you wait and see
