lyrics

Well I hate the way your voice sounds when you talk to me
So desperate and weak like you're trying to convince yourself
That the past six years weren't a lie
You climb the highest mountain tops, converse with the greatest minds
Though you're back here with me
I'm not trying to be cruel I just need to get some sleep

New Year's 2009
In a flash flood of red wine, old grudges, suppressed appetite
We made our peace

Since then the fire outside has been spreading
As flames lick the window sill, floorboards start to crown

There ain't a drop of water around

Well I'm not trying to be cruel
I just need to get some sleep

So I spent all this time playing shows, stacking student debt, mailing envelopes
Full of hours I spent working my hands to the bone

Dead end job
Self-medicating
Shitty cars
In South shore basements
Writing songs
Barely holding on

This ain't the way I
Wanted to go tonight
Driving in circles
Trying hard to find the right words

This ain't the way I
Wanted to act tonight
Lost inside my own head
Trying hard to be the better man

Locked and loaded
Bored, yet choked up
This was a bad idea
We are a bad idea

Locked and loaded
Bored, yet choked up
This was a bad idea
I am the worst idea

I'm not trying to be cruel
I just need to get some sleep
