In the Northeast

Up and running
Very cool very nice
If it wasn't almost 3 in the morning

This would be a real problem
If I had something to do tomorrow
But I don't have, not really

It's gonna be another lonely useless day
Another hot blue boring sunday
To another world I must travel to
In my own mind I tell you
Just so you know
Where I am at

Just another afternoon without friends
Another sauna day in the northeast corner
Another quick pop by the nearest convenience store

Overheard conversations
Overlooked masterpieces
Overcooked chicken breasts

"I couldn't help but notice
You're such a pretty little thing
Those curls of yours, did you make them?"

No ma'am it's just good genes
No ma'am it's just awesome genes
No ma'am it's just good genes
No ma'am I just was lucky enough to get good genes

What a dumb genius

Up and running
Very tired, every time
If I could just get some sleep

Up and running
Very tired, all the time
If I could just get some sleep

It's been a real problem
It's been a really long day
No ma'am, I'm not okay
No ma'am I'm not okay

It's gonna be another lonely useless night
Another boiling water to the face
Another word to the other chorus
Just so you know
I'm too lazy for that just because

I made a playlist, it's called afternoon with friends
Friends I made in the northeast
It's a nice place
Warm like a mother's heart
A mother's heart

Oversized feelings
Overpriced basic survival stuff
Overdoses by mistake

I put it on my arm and shoot it into my veins
Put it against my head, a shot is all it takes
I put it back in drawer in the last room of the hall
In the last floor of the building
In the farthest darkest block of the neighborhood
In the last town I ever go
In the northeast corner, oh

On the streets covered by the shadows
Of static things that once lived around here
By the timeless advice printed on a sign
It says, oh it says

Your rage is like a wild lion, oh
It's powerful and fierce but it's not who you are
You have to tame yourself son
Oh that's what you have to do

Your rage is like a wild lion
It's powerful and fierce but it's not who you are
You have to tame yourself dear
You tame yourself son to accomplish and belong

Your rage is like a wild lion, oh
It's powerful and fierce but it's not who you are
You have to tame yourself son
Oh that's what you have to do to become

Your rage is like a wild lion, oh
It's powerful and fierce but it's not who you are
You have to tame yourself dear
You tame yourself son to accomplish and belong
