lyrics

Sitting around
Looking at a little slit
Open wide
Let the air come in

Hear the song
Hottest beat I’ve ever made
Hear them yell
Feeling oh so fine
Hear them yell
Feeling oh so fine

See the car parked out back
Warning flashing on
Hours by, killing time
And those lights are still on

Hours by, their lights are still on
The night moves on
Yeah the night moves on

Shower stall
Sitting down
Can’t even fit
Shower Stall
Don’t fit just don’t care
Shower stall, oh so small
Laying on the ground
Can’t get up
Don’t want to move at all
Shower stall
Don’t want to move at all

Dining Hall
I saw you cry
Didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed
Dining hall
I saw you cry
Didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed

Little room, pipe goes round
Seeing messed up images
Turn it around
Don’t remember if we turned around

Little room crooked pipe
Twisting images on our last night
Wish that I said some goodbye
Wish that I said a better goodbye

Walking home see a fox
Lock eyes, lock eyes
Walking home saw a fox
Locked eyes

He moved on
Moved on

Heard a scream in woods
Primordial
Never explained
Never explained

Yeah I heard a scream
Primordial in the woods

It was near the log
Where we sat
Joked around
Pretended we were
So very very hard to find
Pretended we were
So very very hard to find

Walking home
Trapping me in the corner
Got blood on your hands
Calling my boy mao zedong

Walking home
Got me trapped in the corner
Blood on your hands
Calling me saying that I’m looking like
Meat loaf

We both agree
We both agree
Trapped in the corner staring down blood covered hands
Trapped in the corner starting down blood covered hands

Stolen guitar
By a friend
Precious heirloom turned into drug money
Stolen guitar is no longer around

Beautiful sound as I watch the hands
Impressing me
Proving to me that I still have so much to learn
Now it’s all gone

Uh uh uh uh

The offers to get twisted
Trying to be good and then let it go
Just let it go

Dining hall saw you cry
Didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed
Dining hall never really said goodbye

Walking around
That nice town
See you passing by give you a nice hello
Always wanted to let you know

Dining hall I saw you cry
And i didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed
In the Dining hall I saw you cry
I should have stood up, should have stood up
But I did not do shit
It’s a huge regret

In the dining hall my future son says hello
In the dining hall my future son said hello
My future son said hello
And I never said goodbye

The g men came
My rooms a mess
Probably didn’t smell too great
Yeah the g men come
They said you were burning up

Brown coats
Fake accents
Eyeing me down like I was complacent
Yeah the g men came
And my room was a mess

I was just making tunes
With my piano skills
I didn’t have
Yeah I was just making tunes
With skills that I didn’t have

I saw the broken window pane
Saw you later then
You said you put your foot through it
Why are you such a mess

You put your foot through the window pane
It caused you nothing but pain and shame
Burning on
Burning on
Lobby
Burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn
Burn the paper in the lobby
I wish things could have turned out right
I wish things could have turned out right

All the faces recognizing
The faces looking at them
All the faces seeing faces seeing them

When the sun goes down
Sitting around park benches
When the sun goes down
Sitting round the benches
Or in the nooks
That’s where we lived

When the sun sitting on the benches
Or in the nooks
With our backs to the windows
Where the security desks just watched us
Yeah the security desks just watching us

Sitting around the courtyard
Don’t remember a thing that was said
Sitting around the courtyard
Don’t remember a thing that was, that was said

The meth head
Claiming I knew how to hook him up
He said I must because I have long hair

Yeah the meth head
Just screaming round
Accusing me of just screwing around
Because I wouldn’t hook him up with more meth
I guess long hair means you know how to get meth

Walking home I heard someone yelling from the window
They called me
A faggot

Yeah walking home
I heard a voice from the window
Yelling at me
And they called me
A faggot

And walking home
Heard a voice from the window
He was saying I should come up
He thought I was a girl

And I was hit on from the window
I was hit on from the window
I was hit on from the window
He thought I was a girl

And he thought it was okay
To hit on me from inside of his room
He thought it was okay
To hit on me from his room

Dining hall
Saw you cry
Didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed
In the dining hall
Never really said goodbye

In the dining hall
Saw you cry
Didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed
I just wanted to
Say I really messed up

In the dining hall
Saw you cry
Didn’t do nothing I was paralyzed
In the dining hall
I never really goodbye

Never really said Yeah I never really said
Yeah I never really said Yeah I never really said
Yeah I never really said Yeah I never really said
Yeah I never really said Yeah I never really said
Yeah I never really said Yeah I never really said
Yeah I never really said Yeah I never really said
Yeah I never really said
Never really said goodbye
Never really said never really said goodbye

Thinking back I wish I knew why
Don’t know who I’m kidding
Totally know why
