lyrics

I am the pain that beats through your temples
Every morning when you wake up
I am the boy with alcohol poisoning
From all the parties Chris was throwing
That summer that they took us in
Like every other American
For getting drunk around back of the Lion's Club
Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up

And some kids played hacky sack
While the others just got high

It's not hard to fall for a waitress
When you both smoke, smoke the same cigarettes
You'll get seated as diners or lovers
You'll get the check as friends for the better

You'll carve your names into the Paupack Cliffs
Just read them when you get old enough to know
That happiness is just a moment

So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
'Cause I don't need it you can take it back
So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
'Cause I don't need it you can take it back

And they will make examples out of us
Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot
But I fed the liars, I fed the liars
I fed the liars

Everything I got
Everything I got
In my cabinet brain
Of canned thoughts
It was everything I've got
Oh everything I've got
In my cabinet brain
In my cabinet brain

So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
'Cause I don't need it you can take it back
So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
'Cause I don't need it you can take it back
So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
I don't need it you can take it back
