lyrics

It’s not like you sold out, you just rubbed them the right way. When you grow up in this old town, you ain’t something until you’ve escaped, and it’s not that I’m angry or embarrassed at what they might say.

I stayed working through college because the hospital pays, where I sleepwalk the workday with patients wrenching in pain. But as long as there’s sickness, brother, there’s money to be made. I’m scared that’s the truth, but a man’s got to make his wage.

I found a five in storm drain. That’s enough for a coffee and half of a magazine. Now I’m home from a long day and I still can’t remember your name. How you people can stand all the travel, abide by a gavel, walk barefoot on gravel… My god, I’m unraveling. Spare me your judgement and I’ll do the same.

My devil said, “Come down here.” When he spoke it was so sincere. “In the darkness you’ll disappear. You sold your soul out to fear.” And that’s all that I needed to hear.

My mind’s back and fourth like a court room, with my degree as the jury, where proof is independent from truth. So I spit out the bad news and sunk back into my seat like in grade school.

I’m a child and I slipped, spilled my guts, and heard,
“That boy’s not one of us so he’s not to be trusted!”
“Shh.. He’ll hear you!”
“I just did. Yeah, I got the message, I know when it’s my turn to go.”
