lyrics

I been looking around at abandoned cars on the side of the highway
Asking myself are they a metaphor of the lack of drive, or dead battery eyes?

You gotta' scream to get your point across, that's our way
You gotta' scratch the skin with the youngest cut, it'll be okay
Too many nights, in the Greyhound station up North Syracuse
The departure screen, looking at me like it was talking shit just as I walked in
Too much debt, pride, and swinging mood through American veins
The confidence of twenty fools with equal parts shame

Yeah, we were playing dead,
Wanna' break my jaw, maybe break the bread
Can't leave or stay, sitting on the steps
It's no surprise I hear religion on the radio
We can't find any other signal

Slow, that's is how it'll go when you're building something that's worth the build
But keeping in mind why you started to climb, it gets harder with height
Don't you think of starting over now, what a waste
The guy in your head and the one in the mirror got a different face

Are you gonna' break down the wall
Playing with a red rubber ball
Pick the hammer up, turn me all to dust

Break down the wall
Playing with the red rubber ball
Pick the hammer up
Turn me all to dust

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
