Dead Tracks

(album: Souvenir - 2014)

Greet the night with cheap wine
Lose the sun behind the skyline
Fucked up, with a shattered heart
We were halfway there when it fell apart
Now I'm half drunk almost half the time
If you need me, I'll be down on this decline

Walking around, feeling the wind blow
Over the freeway out my window
Here in the dark watching the moon creep
Over a sleeping town
But I keep waking up tonight here on my own
I'm having one more drink before I slip to the unknown

I've made a few mistakes along the way
I know I'll make a couple more
I washed up on the streets I'd pass before
I'd pass before

Haunt the dives along the dead tracks
Drift away but always float back
Fuck up, so it ended wrong
Me and all these ghosts have been up too long
In the half light where it's hard to see
Why I let you go I know what that makes me

Walking around, feeling the wind blow
Over the freeway out my window
Here in the dark watching the moon creep
Over a sleeping town
But I keep waking up tonight here on my own
I'm having one more drink before I slip to the unknown

I've made a few mistakes along the way
I know I'll make a couple more
I washed up on the streets I'd pass before
I'd pass before

Hope has burned away, I'm still on fire
It's all just ash and memories now
Floating around, try and remember something good that I forgot

Spin in retrograde with all the lost
Waiting for the end of night
Counting it down, but when tomorrow comes around
I'll still be here in the dust, I did it all myself
It's cold without you
I want a day I wake up as someone else
It's cold without you now
