I'm Going Home

(album: probably nothing, possibly everything - 2014)

I was stupid enough to throw my life away on music
Like it was that simple
But if singing changed anything
They'd make it illegal
I hate strangers, loud noises, and crowds
I'll play a show every night

And would you, and would you believe
There are people who come to me for advice?
I'm driving fast as the car can go
Because I'm going home

I was desperate enough for the feeling
Of pushing back to jump into the streets
The cops have us all surrounded;
Hear them gnashing their teeth
Ready now, bail down the alley when we hit the next light

And would you, and would you believe
There are people who ask me how to fight?
I'm running fast as these legs can go
And I'm going home

Five years ago
I was broken enough to just shut the fuck up
I got sober by going to rehab
And not arguing so much for once
Punk rockers ask me how I did it
Hoping for an easier way

And would you, and would you believe
That they don't like what I have to say?
I pray as much as an atheist can
And then I walk home
I'm driving fast as the car can go
Because I'm going home
