gutter

(album: zero experience - 2023)

(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)

Back when I was fifteen, I got into the wrong crowd
Got myself in trouble just to make a silly man proud
When I was sixteen, I almost died
Swear my mum watched my life flash behind her eyes
When I was seventeen, I relapsed like ten times
And that last one led me on a downward spiral
Eighteen, picking up the drink
Felt kinda nice 'cause I didn't have to think

Nineteen, lockdown hit
Everything around me, it all went to shit
Then I turned twenty
When did I turn twenty?
How the fuck am I twenty?
Like what?

I should be dead in a gutter by now
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved that corner
(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)
I should be dead in a gutter by now
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved that corner
(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)

Now I'm twenty-two
Haven't got a clue
I got a chip on my shoulder
I think that it's cool
No one's gonna fuck with the girl that breaks all the rules
No one gives a fuck 'cause we're all replaceable

I'm just such a hypocrite
Dunno how I live with it
Told my brother not to smoke
I'm the one who hasn't quit
Really, I'm just winging it
Hoping it don't go to shit
Hoping I can find a place where I fit

I should be dead in a gutter by now
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved that corner
(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)
I should be dead in a gutter by now
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved that corner
(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)

(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)
(Dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, I should be dead in a gutter)
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved that corner
