I love like a child, laugh when I can
And fight like an ignorant man
And I smoke, I smoke for the rush
To keep my head above all the things that she does

In the end, I guess she’ll figure out
Until then I’m sleeping in

I sold everything I kept in my house
And filled it instead with a horrible sound
The beat of a drum, a crack and a hiss
If I’m not her one than I’m only for kicks

But it’s not over now
Until then I’m filled with doubt

But I’m not innocent
I’m livid and bold, well I’m young and sick of it

I, I want to live down by the sea
Where no one will listen to me and my thoughts
Drunk in the brain and hoping my shame
Could fill all the cracks in the wall
