lyrics

I walk the streets of my town with a blistering resolve
A dollar in your pocket shows there’s nowhere else to go
Even if there’s nowhere else to be, at least you fall asleep

Safe beneath the crooked streets and broken highway signs
I left behind the city but it didn’t leave my mind
Even if it takes you half the night, even if the girl you love is blind
At least you’re fine

Because I work until eleven with a fever to come home
To walk down seven floors until I’m out into the air
My lungs fill up and empty, my fingers cross in reverie

Because I watched it slowly changing but I couldn’t make it stop
Just push and pull and fuck and fight and always out on top
But every drug that you take makes you feel no more alive if anything it makes you feel more dead

Until you’re left at a cross road thinking what to do
Should I turn around and not get caught or come back to you
Because everything’s the same
Sometimes there’s just no one you can blame

A car ride to the country or a film that cuts out
A place that can’t help but fester in the feelings we don’t have
And although you don’t have much what you do have you share it with me

And I can see my friends here I can feel the love that they have
I just want them to know that I will be here for them
With every passing day and each moment the pain, the anxiety we feel slips away
But everyone wants money, reliability, consistency, everything I don’t have or will never be
So I just spend it all, waste it all, give it all away
It leaves me with nothing, but nothing’s what I wanted anyway.
