Make It Out Alive

when trouble comes you want to run
slide into a deep sleep ain't it fun
mother mary hold me down and knock me out
slip into my sunset load your gun
you're killing me now i can't sleep at night
every inch of you bleeds into my tie dye
i'm leaving this town behind
if only i can make it out alive
these city streets don't know my name
i fell in love once it made me insane
will you tell me you're sorry when we are older?
i'm leaving for good and to you i give the blame

Trapped In Time

lesson learned, you were right on the money
every word you spoke like flowing honey
it's my turn to turn the tables on our youth
i've walked on broken glass, how 'bout you?
now i'm older and i've thought about the future
when you grow up and you have kids, will they know my name or place
that i once held inside your heart, a place once bright but now is dark?
in the deep dark corners of my heart, there still remains a space for you
and though it is falling apart, i still maintain our love was true
remember when on end we'd talk for hours
video calls and a few handwritten letters
before and after and during school
inseparable but so toxic, too
now when i sleep i always sleep with one eye open
late at night darkness enters in, i fear my walls are caving in
you'll storm the shallows, cross the moat, and send my castle up in smoke
i can't just let you get away without at least a damn goodbye
now you're nothing but a memory and our love is trapped in time
after all is said and all is done
we were stupid, desperate, dumb and young
and as i sit writing this third line
i know our love is trapped in time
now i sit on my bed watching seconds tick by
four years still waiting for that day that i get my damn goodbye
i know you don't have the guts to say and it's clear i'm not worth your time
i know you said four years ago that it's over, we are done
but here's what's funny about it though: it was over before it had begun.
i can't just let you get away without at least a damn goodbye
now you're nothing but a memory and our love is trapped in time

go dig your grave and wave goodbye to all your friends.
it sure was nice, but this world is gonna blow and we're all gonna die.
say goodbye.
piss in the dark and start a war but no one knows what it is for.
as long as they recruit adolescent dudes and teach 'em to shoot.
i've been here for 18 years and i've only learned one thing
no one really cares about you and me
shout at the top of your two lungs: "we don't need anything from anyone"
'cause everyone's in for themselves and we're all going to hell.
ain't it swell?
the made in america sign was made in china, don't lie
'cause everyone's a hypocrite and everyone is full of shit, albeit...
i've been here for 18 years and i've only learned one thing
no one really cares about you and me
i've had enough of all the problems in our lives
that we blame on everyone else and never look inside.
we could change the world if we wanted to,
but first that change has got to start with you.
i've been here for 18 years and i've only learned one thing
no one really cares about you and me
