lyrics

I've seen the insides of apartments
Made whiskey sours in the darkened rooms
I've watched my drunken friends performing
I've watched them disconnect from me

I've seen the bottom of the bottle
More times than I have seen my dad
I've fought a long and losing battle
With disconnection and the sad

And nothing I could do got me any closer to any part of me I wanted back

I've seen the girls go down in blackouts
I've seen the blood drip down their arms
I've woken up inside of closets
I've fallen out inside of cars

I've seen a broken body crumble
Under the blows of baseball bats
On the west side of Chicago
And went in his pockets for my bags

And nothing I could do got me any closer to any part of me I wanted back
But I kept looking for some numbness to adore
So I don't have to recreate the past

I've seen her head go through the windshield on her birthday
I've seen the bruises on her hands
I've seen her love for me just shrivel up and die
I've seen her fuck another man

I've seen the inside of a jail cell
I've watched the world go on without me there
I've seen my friends inside of coffins
I've watched the world not even care

I've seen her held down in an alley
And forced to give him her whole self
I've seen a man buying the homeless
A piece of pizza like it helps

I've seen them so fucked up they're soulless
But I've seen souls come back from worse
I've seen the hopeless human chorus
Sing pretty songs across the Earth
