lyrics

Oh, you've walked these streets
I don't want to hear you

If you take a closer look at the trees
you can see that all the leaves once green are brown
why's it always seem like they're dying

but you've walked these streets for years, my friend
and you've seen the trees that line them born again
you got to respect that they're trying

it feels like this year has eaten me whole
chewed me up and gone on to better days
looks like I'll be in here for a while

in that time I'm sure I could make great strides
in my personal life and relationship with Jesus Christ
but if Jesus isn't cool, I guess I'll pick up smoking

these cigarettes don't help me write,
but they shorten my life
and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy
with any healthier methods

I was on the phone with my dad, he said "Chris, this is your father, I've got a lot of news for you. It's been five weeks since you called, I mean since I heard your voice... you're not sounding good."

I don't really like sitting at my computer anymore it feels like we're too good of friends at this point. I mean if you spend enough time with somebody and they really start to be your friend, you stop needing to fill all the silence with inconsequential shit. you only say the words you really need to say. I don't need to spend another hour on Youtube or Pornhub or another pirated movie. So I'll sit in a puddle of internet ennui, staring at my desktop for twenty-five minutes till I turn it off without even saying a word

I am trying to carry on with my thoughts
but I can't fall asleep without my phone
I am trying to feel a sense of independency
while holding my own is one point, two points colder
it's a little better feeling at ease with my mistakes
it feels great to see all the people I knew falling
towards heights I never had the calling to call goals
say, Lawrence Welk, I want to give you a big bag of money
to see if you can put it in a place where nobody can use it
to spread seeds of doubt that count you as a contributor
to unequal class housing
take the money, take the money Lawrence, take the money
take the money please take the money, take the money

don't take the money

these cigarettes don't help me write,
but they shorten my life
and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy
with any healthier methods

these cigarettes don't help me write,
but they shorten my life
and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy
with any healthier methods

these cigarettes don't help me write,
but they shorten my life
and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy
with any healthier methods

oooooEEEEooooo AAAAAEAAAAA OOOOHHHH YEAH!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Oh you've walked these streets
I don't want to hear you

these cigarettes don't help me write,
but they shorten my life
and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy
with any healthier methods
