Make Yourself Sick

(album: White Line Fever - 2020)

We drove through the pass, like the day we drove in
Sitting in the back of the Tahoe waiting
Headed east towards Spokane
I could tell you it was nerves
But my thoughts always get there first
You always know the worst

We hurt ourselves in the simplest of ways
Running towards the truth that we never want to face
I wish I could forget every single place
That brought me to my knees
But it wouldn't be me
I wouldn't be here

My body shook and felt like it'd tear itself apart
As I laid there watching all the passing cars
You can disguise mistakes (You can disguise mistakes)
But will the voice fade that got you here, where you are
The walls you build won't protect your heart
(Can't protect your heart)
(Can't protect your heart)

We hurt ourselves in the simplest of ways
Running towards the truth that we never want to face
I wish I could forget every single place
That brought me to my knees
But it wouldn't be me
I wouldn't be here

The water here tastes nothing like back home
And it's beautiful out here all alone
But it feels as if there's hope and disappointment
With every mile that passes by
And I'm still wondering if I

We hurt ourselves in the simplest of ways
Running towards the truth that we never want to face
I wish I could forget every single place
That brought me to my knees
My knees
Brought me to my knees
