SAD Lyrics

I used to wanna argue, quick to draw my nails into my teeth

For diggin', uphill clawing, now I watch as the sun settles down

With me

I've never seen my close friends cry

But I believe they do all the time

California I barely knew ya', Carolina, sweet home town I

Wrote you letters, but what's a letter, if you loved someone you would drop it all

For them

I've been homesick posturin'

I know I threw you all away

Mama, I'm bleedin' just like the folk song said, my eyes are red

And I spend all night fundin' my sufferin'

Watch as we learn how to wear our parents shoes, they still feel loose

If I could I would, I would untie you

No melatonin, no absolution, the youngest kids now growin' old, yeah

He's in Boston, now he's in Houston

He's entranced with everything now that he's

In love

With somethin' that will rip him up

It's the same song and dance

Mama, I'm bleedin' just like those folk song said, my eyes are red

And I spend all night fundin' my sufferin'

Watch as we learn how to wear our parents shoes, they still feel loose

If I could I would, I would untie you

I'm a sweat ball

Zipped up like a funeral

I'm a red flag

A whicker lava lamp

I'm a damn shame

I never thought it'd be this way

Who will grab my hand?

I'm a goodbye

I'm frequent and I'm never right

I'm a long flight

I'm a phone call when you land

I'm unrest

A nowhere street where we first met

Who will grab my hand?

I was a good man

Lock in stride within the plan

I'm workin'

Doin' what I'm told

I'm broken

I'll barely make it home again

Who will hold my hand

When I realize that I'm indebted to a system

That makes me feel like my existence

Is borrowed time in a hotel lobby or loiterin' on private property

It's not much but I swear I'm tryin' to feed my mouth and build my family

And earn my keep and earn my livin' just enough to slowly starve them

Just enough to slowly drown them, just enough to keep them bashin'

Their heads on lights they thought would save them and pray to god

But I think god left them

God never left a road map for me (I will)

He never left a road map for me (Clip my wings and sing your praises)

He never left a road map for me (I will)

He never left a map (Hide behind the masks you've made)

Nobody told me I'd be so fuckin' sad

But I am

And I spend all night fundin' my sufferin'

Watch as I learn how to wear my parents shoes

They still feel loose

If I could I would, I would untie you

If I could I would, I would unwrite you
