Riding the train on my way home
So this is life.
I spent 22 years being born
Time to count my stripes.
I've got my mother's smile my father's line of employment.
I do one for the money the other an output of enjoyment.
Well, I can tell you that I'm happy just don't look me in the eyes.
Been rattling the wires
Got a couple coins in my cup.
Did a good job today
Lets see if I can keep it up.
In this ravenous world where I seek my fortune
I would scorch this whole Earth as long as I can take a portion
To grow my own little paradise.
Search for my
Future in the stars.
But I don't think that I'm going that far.
It's over
I know what comes next
But it sure beats starving to death.
You know I won't split my head open onto the pavement
Because who will make my Student Loan Payments?
I've been carving a course
All this mess and fat I'm cutting through.
I've been working on my figure
Shaping up, cleaning out, starting anew.
Running in place cuz it's good for my heart
Eating freezer food packaged as a fresh start
But there's an idol, an image, a dream you just can't live up to.
Pour the
Bourbon to the rim.
This flight has taken off time to settle in.
It's over
I know what comes next
But it sure beats starving to death.
You know I won't split my head open onto the pavement
Because who will make my Student Loan Payments?
Riding the train on my way home- so this is life.
