lyrics

I'm chasing the greatest escape, not just a weekend away,
Theres not enough living in this life, barely enough to make me stay,
As the days drag on and so do I, I can not help but think
how many of us are riding shotgun being driven to drink.
The news drives me insane, these sitcoms up the wall,
There's something wrong with TV when the weather has me enthralled.
So I leave the hospital room, I quietly shut the door,
So as not to wake the sleeping mice resting beneath the floor.

How do we live for solace when the end is so alone,
For the love of your sickly friend, man, pick up the fucking phone!
Man, I hope it wouldn't end like this, I prayed for something swift,
I guess that's the price I pay for living the life of a bridge arsonist.

I need to escape this reality, I've gotta leave these 4 walls
I'm going on a stroll over the edge of frozen falls
To the call of the raven and the flapping wings of geese
and the sound of the ice that just gave way beneath my weary feet.

With tombstones in my eyes, a cigarette in hand,
The cancer enters through my lungs, who knows where it will land
But when my eyes are glazed and yellow, dripping with morphine,
Just know I'm not dreaming of the life that could have been.
With a face worn to leather and nerves as thick as suede
Skin marked purple with scars and a memory that didn't fade
Unlike my tinitic hearing after the snare in my eardrum frayed
My gut remains intact after a lifetime of of jumping on grenades.
