lyrics

the sky looks bigger than it did a month ago
and everything’s to come
its 4:44 in early march and I can finally use my feet again
after months of feeling dirty
I don’t care if the road salt stains my shoes

I feel different than I did a month ago
not better, not worse
but if I spend every minute away from the action
as a sudden reaction to a lack of passion
locking myself in won’t do me good
locking myself out doesn’t feel nearly as good as it should

18 days to fall behind
18 months to get in line
18 years to prove I’m not a fuck up or a waste of space and time
19: destroy my spine
20: I commit no crime (straight edge teach me to survive)
21: I learn to drink and drive

I don’t fit my daddy’s jeans
makes me feel pretty small
but I’ll still go bald
says he’ll find some place for me to grow
but I don’t know what i could show
to prove that there's a sum within me
great enough to make him proud
I don't know him
I can't tell him what he needs to hear to feel at ease

so if you mind, I think that I look great
in the clothes that I've been wearing for two days straight
I'm not gonna change
how do you think this works?
how do you think this works?
how could it not hurt?

I wanna move on, gotta get a move on
I wanna pack my bags and drive my way across the state
I wanna move to the city, I wanna be a freak
I wanna have new beginnings, but beginnings aren’t for me
getting sick of everything all the time
getting sick of words I couldn’t / wouldn’t write

we’re heading back to the start
now one will know who we are

it’s such a tangled web we weave
mourning spiders eggs we smashed between our teeth
we’ll never even get to see them bleed
if there’s always something wrong with you or me
when we were younger we would loiter grocery stores
we did it cause we said we were always bored
now that feeling’s kept alive on life support
I only wanna pull the fucking cord

so I’ll pick the time
and you’ll pick the place
cause there’s nothing more refreshing
than new scars on my face
your legs and your eyes are as restless as mine
but maybe we’ll find some longer roads to race
