lyrics

I've said before
That I hate my life
One foot out the door
One hand on the knife
I've washed ashore
Like a bottle of wine
That's been emptied and quarked
With a message inside

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray your soul my soul to keep
I keep a key around my neck
I never meant to lack respect
I seek forgiveness for my faults
I'm not concerned with finding peace
I take it with a grain of salt
I'm not upset, I'm just obscene

But we keep playing these same songs from when we were teens
And singing the words wrong
Back when we were free and nothing could hurt us
Now I look at my old friends and see them struggle to keep calm
We've gone from rebels to the cogs we used to laugh about
Used to party in a vacant house while Chris' mom was out of town
Laying on the driveway, tripping
Looking at the stars
It almost took away from all the pain from cuts that turned to scars

I've said before
That I hate my life
One foot out the door
One hand on the knife
I've washed ashore
Like a bottle of wine
That's been emptied and quarked
With a message inside
