Alkaline Trio - Mr. Chainsaw

When was it that you lost your youth or traded

It for something more for them to use so jaded

Why is it that you never said

I love you more than just a friend

I pray this gridlock never ends

And when we get there just depends

I found out recently that you are leaving

For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling

It`s better now to be alive

Sleeping is my 9 to 5

I`m having nightmares all the time

Of running out of words that rhyme

Everything that you could never say

Would never matter anyway

I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago

Before that steak knife took my eyes

I looked up to the sky

For the last thing I would ever see

For the last time I`d cry

When was it that you sold your life or wasted

Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
I guess I should be one to talk

There`s nights that I can`t even walk

There`s days I couldn`t give a fuck

And in between is where I`m stuck

From blocks away I heard somebody screaming

That small child inside of you that you left bleeding

You stabbed him up not once but twice

Cubicles will now suffice

Some say it`s the roll of the dice

I think they`re wrong I know I`m right

Every breath that I could barely breathe

Could barely make it past my teeth

I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago

Every step that i could take

Every one more difficult to make

Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago

In case you`re wondering

I`m singing about growing up about giving in

In case you`re wondering we`re singing about growing up

About giving up and giving in
