lyrics

I shouldn't shout and scream and break shit
So I cope in silence with my
Stupid smile stitched across my face
As I sprint in place.
It started snowing overnight,
And now it's white across the street
But grey and slushy in the parking lot
Where pigeons go to die.

And they say that I consent to the system I make use of
But there's no other system I could use;
And if I tried to make another to help my people
They'd throw me into jail, I got the blues.

You came outside because you heard me screaming
You saw me in the snow giving myself a beating
You thought I slipped on the ice and maybe I was bleeding
But I was just drunk to death and my life was freezing
I'm sorry that I tried to punch you
When you tried to help me up
See sometimes the stupid kid that lives inside me needs to
get all fucked up

And they say that I'm a product of the world that I grew up in
Now what am I supposed to do?
And if I tried to make another world to live my life in
they'd throw me into jail, I got the blues

I shouldn't throw my life away yet
There's so much that I haven't made yet
Stupid smile stitched across my face
As I sprint in place
Now it's dusk and it's still snowing
And I still don't know where I'm going
It's grey and slushy in the parking lot
Where pigeons go to die
