lyrics

Everyone I know is a shadow
petrified by the light
and try as I might,
never to brighten up anyone's day
they all go running away from me

Everywhere I go I get a stern look
everywhere I look a bad sign
and I just don't know why
everything I touch turns to ash in my hands
and shrivels up and dies away

Up and dies away

Gotta get out to the country
gotta let my thoughts stew
I got a lot on my mind
people left and right try to tell me that I'm
throwing my precious time away

Missed calls by the dozen
got my head halfway into an oven
and if one thing is clear
getting out of here aint gonna change a thing
Im the same ole fiend anywhere I go

Anywhere I go

Gotta get out of the basement
gotta exist somehow
I got somewhere to be
So many places that I gotta see
before its too late, too late for me
