ALKALINE TRIO - Dead End Road lyrics

rate me

I thought that you were joking

When you said you couldn't breathe

You said you couldn't breathe

Turns out that you were choking

On a town you couldn't leave

You knew you'd never leave

It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old

You were only 8 years old

From then on there was no removal

From that one way dead end road

That one way dead end road

I thought that you were laughing

When you cried your eyeballs out

You cried your eyeballs out

And i don't mean to be prying

But what were you so sad about

What are you still sad about

Met your disappointment at the age of 9 years old

You were only 9 years old

From then on there would be no ointment

To take away these burns

To make that pain grow dull and forever ain't that long

When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song

All you think about is death

Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now

For way too long now

I thought that you were sleeping

When i found you there in bed

I found you there in bed

When i touched you you were freezing

It turned out that you were dead

It turned out that you were dead

It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old

You were only 8 years old

From then on there was no removal

From your fucked up head and your broken home and forever ain't that long

When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song

All you think about is death

Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now

For way too long now

For way too long now

For way too long now
