lyrics

I can taste the anger boiling over like my pasta.
In this shitty kitchen, in this shitty apartment,
Where the pipes don’t work and the heat got shut off.
Maybe I’ll move out, I won’t be coming back.
You’ll sit at the door wasting away,
It’s what I dream about everyday.

I get home late from my shitty job,
self-medicate and turn the T.V. on.
The tiles are coming off the bathroom floor,
where you’re screaming and lying there’s no love anymore.

Well no one’s asking you to stay,
So pick your shit and move away.
This rent’s too big, this apartment’s too small.
And no one’s laughing after all.

We’re two weeks late for paying the bills.
And your two weeks late for something else.
A shotgun wedding and a sixpack of beer,
The priest says we’ll be happy for the rest of our years.

And next time I’ll move out,
And make good on broken promises.
I’m fine alone in this broken home.
That’s what I say, but I know that it’s a lie.
