Cex - Way Back Machine lyrics

rate me

sometimes i can't afford to backslide<br />

i've been mining through my boyhood fantasies<br />

and finding that some of them still feel good to me<br />

still fit perfectly, working like a charm<br />

draped around my shoulders, old friends keep me warm<br />

in my parents car<br />

five full years of screaming with the stereo up<br />

so when i run i just push pedals, my feet barely budge<br />

<br />

i've trid keeping the world out<br />

of my sovereign nation statino wagon<br />

the place where i felt safe to keep moving<br />

the scenery changes so i don't have to<br />

i still can't drink, stil convinced<br />

if i can't do it myself doing it's worthless<br />

cuz the world will come out in the end from under<br />

you set yourself up when you're counting on others<br />

<br />

i'm not sad, i'm passed desensitized<br />

friends drop like flies and cut their own lines<br />

and at the end of the day it's just me and my flat line<br />

send electricity, let me not smile<br />

let something puncture the numbing force field<br />

we erected young men to prtect how we feel<br />

i've been mining by boyhood dreams<br />

and i found one that never made sense to me<br />

up until now<br />

<br />

that car takes a corner carelessly<br />

tearing its wheels from the street<br />

from the air to the trees by the side of the road<br />

twisted heaps of debris, shine of glass<br />

and the cold wet grass on my face<br />

some blood in my mouth, the taste washed out<br />

by the headlights passing on by<br />

<br />

i'm lying, resting in the wreckage<br />

half asleep and completely defenceless<br />

no proection from scavengers, weather<br />

and a few days of rain <br />

which worsens the smell of it all<br />

but no one complains, a crew will be called<br />

to scrape these remains eventually<br />

some cars slow down and kids crane their necks to see<br />

most just swerve left unimpressed, forgetting me<br />

<br />

you can make your very own poison, despicable man<br />

begin by keeping him a boy for as long as you can<br />

and when the voice in his head says that everything's wrong<br />

let him think we'd convinced but only with the right song
