lyrics

Rolling down these empty streets in a busted truck in the pouring rain / How did I end up in this place, I wonder again and again and again and again / I was hot shit in high school, now I'm running as far and as fast as I can / Started out a straight edge college boy, then turned into the Marlboro Man / Told a lot of tall tales when I was young, guess the truth was never good enough for me / My heartbeat crawls like a reptile on a sultry summer's eve / Making plans of escape, even though I love my friends, I hate this town / Can't fix this shit, we live here now* / Spending nights awake in self-medication, thinking back to the Doom that came to these basements / Yet another hungover workday trying to think through these half-conversations / All my friends are moving to Brooklyn and Houston and I just can't keep up / Try to drink away some of my problems, ashes to ashes, dust to dust / Haven't gotten paid yet, I'm driving down Scottholm and it's three AM / Shift is over in fifteen, might as well be an hour ago for all the good it does them / Make the turn onto Genesee, head back west toward Westcott Street / Punch out, drive back, get drunk alone, try in vain to get some sleep and dream of home
