lyrics

there's an ache in my jaw
in every ten-year molar I've neglected to floss
I've got bleeding gums and tooth decay from the sweet in my talk
you'll take a shot and a half
pour it in your coffee cup (it's fine, it's decaf)
you'll say you've never loved another song like shattering glass

layin in an empty lot behind the vacant offices waiting for the acid to drop
you said "id bet the rent you'd fall in love if you just quit your job"
sniffing glue wearing only socks
in your brothers car, with tires slashed, now its sat up on blocks
with the only tape that you'll ever play
chased our bad dreams away,
a song for every picked lock.

we played with matches that night
at the church beside the river set the roses alight
and we slam danced in the parking lot screaming "i mosh for christ"
a plastic cup full of rum
with silly straws and party hats and a broken bass drum
saying thank you friends we'll tie loose ends here's to being young

every bottle left unsmashed
you said don't be a dick recycle it, throw it in this black bag
dinners on me guys, I'll be payin in quarters dimes and food stamps
the taste of tar stuck to my lips
and oh my failing lungs that scream and dream behind showing ribs
and the ripped shirts worn to hide my attempts
my sense of hungers been swept
away with the last broken dish
