The Menzingers - Gates lyrics

rate me

I am the pain that bleeds through your temples

Every morning when you wake up

I am the boy with alcohol poisoning

From all the parties Chris would throw

That summer that they took us in

Like every other American

For getting drunk in back of the Lion's Club

Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up

Then some kids played hacky sack

While the others just got high

It's not hard to fall for a waitress

When you both smoke

Smoke the same cigarettes

You'll get seated as diners lovers

You'll get the check that Scranton's for the better

You'll carve your names into the Parpat (?) Cliffs

Just read them when you get old enough to know

That happiness is just a moment

So I'm marching up to your gates today

To throw my lonely soul away

'Cause I don't need it

You can take it back

And they will make examples out of us

Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot

But I fed the liars

Everything I got in my cabinet brain

Of canned thoughts

Everything I've got

It was everything I've got

In my cabinet brain

So I'm marching up to your gates today

To throw my lonely soul away

'Cause I don't need it

You can take it back

Yeah I don't need it

You can take it back
