lyrics

When I heard the news
I was just reminded
I knew I'd see you here again.
Despite all their views
it was just recited
your past would come bite you
eventually.

The bowed hardwood floor
got done in last centuries vinyl
I question my title for days.
The twelve dollar broken heater
won't keep me warm by the
door as i lay on the floor

I'm finding my groove
in this place I resent
The last 6 months alone
Has left me for dead
I need to remove myself
from this place.

These paper walls
they serve no purpose
I lay each night
shaking through my sheets.
The old man next door
a dying ex-criminal
he coughs and he keeps me
awake.

Deep in your fears
Are the forgotten years
Back on your heels (he keeps me up at night)
You have to open up
And deal with hidden
frustrations. If you're
to have any chance
of ever moving forward

I'm finding my groove
in this place I resent
The last 6 months alone
Has left me for dead
I need to remove myself
from this place
In a hope that things will
change.

I'm overslept, I'm underpaid
I finally know now what became of my wage
Your crooked smiles laced with Choice cigarettes
I wake each day faced by your silhouette
Looking back at my time
I will never forget
