Cheerleaders Smoke Crack

I watched myself burn out on the wrong side of the tracks
I hitched a ride back, then watched myself fall off the wagon
It's no use, I've tried, to hide in plain sight
This weight in my heart makes me try
A suicide attempt 26 stiches wide

Punk rockers, they never survive
They either burn out young or they change their mind
Not a safe place to be, for you or me
And junkies, they never grow old
They either clean up their act or they overdose
But I guess, as long as they're happy, I don't mind

You try to explain, relapse to replace
The weight of the day, the weight of your brain
And I can't help you pick up all the pieces
These little lies we tell ourselves
Like we're gonna get sober or get ourselves help
It waxes and wanes, these phases of pain
And I'm just too tired to keep playing these games

Oh squatters will never get hired
Cause as long as there's trains, there's a constant reminder
Of a wanderlust so thick, they can't resist
And cutters will never do more, than bust open a vein
And bleed out on the floor
But if that's how you wanna go, don't let me stop you

I watched myself fuck up, it's the only thing I seem to do well enough
And I try to act surprised, but these days it's hard
There's no lookin back, that road is a mess
If you want to change, you're gonna have to forget
And I can't be your voice of reason

Alcoholics, truth be told
They only see their future in a bottle of Skol
And I don't wanna know those fools no more
I don't wanna know those fools no more
I don't wanna be that fool no more

And you scared me nearly half to death
You don't look the same since you've been smoking meth
But we all have different ways that we lose sleep
We all have different ways that we lose sleep
We all have different ways that we lose...
