lyrics

I got a bloody nose, lying at the top of the stairs.
The other soccer boys are probably playing
Harvest Moon in the basement.
10 years from now I’ll be back down there
with the swimmers watching Inception,
And my nose’ll still be bleeding.

Pulling donuts in an icy high school parking lot,
An early waveform for white male rage.
10 years from now I’ll be a failson
faking his life into shape,
And we’ll all still be angry.

You’ve got a locker full of creatine
And nudie pics to last a dozen
teenage riots in your jeans.
I mean I guess I believe you didn’t do it
But it’s hard to unsee what I’ve seen.

Can you believe we’re 22?
I mean, at this point we’ve known each other
longer than we haven’t...
My little brother could buy himself some
cigarettes if he wanted.
He wouldn’t. But he could if he wanted.

You’ve got a locker full of firearms
and Jim Beam® in the trunk,
you’d better let him out ha ha
My mom told me I ought to send
your mom a Christmas card
saying I’m thinking of her.
I’m still thinking of her.

You’ve got a Honda full of Swisher Sweets
and hormones like a watermelon, suck it and see.
They say God won’t let you bite off
any more than you can chew.
You’re in the big leagues now,
and everybody’s looking at you.

You’ve got a commonwealth of secrets
I’ll never get to hear
It’s probably for the better
But if the dead don’t really die
And if you’ve got something on your ghost mind,
Well I’m listening now.
I’m listening now.
