I woke up today
And put all my shit in boxes
It's 8:00 AM, so I'm glad I wasn't out late
I woke up today
Guess it's good I hadn't finished
Unpacking all of this in the first place
Suburbs have abandoned me
I've had the same best friend since '93
I call, he's not answering, no
I can't get comfortable on my own street
I'm not fond of south Philly
Or how my neighbors love ICP
I guess it's better than Bancroft street
At least the fridge here works and the walls don't leak, at least
I'm starting to see
What's left for me
I'm starting to
We've moved on again so I packed my shit and left home
It's alright to think I still belong to something
I don't
Guess I can see why you'd think so
Nothing made me feel further away
Than "Left and Leaving" through a blown car stereo
Nothing made me feel closer to home
Than "Ready To Die" through my headphones
So we reached the coast, but where do we sleep tonight?
Damned if I know
We'll try to stay at the airport
They can't send us home and we've got no place to go
Guess I can see why you'd think so
Don't say it's up to me.
Don't say it's up to me
Don't say it's up to me
Don't say
So the creaks in the floor boards are calling out to me
I'm laying here again with my head on my backpack, wrapped in my hoodie
This is how it is when
I stacked Lonelier Than God
Next to You Get So Alone Sometimes
I know how this must look from the outside
It took almost 13 months
For me to be where I feel fine
I'm not as sad as I'll let myself believe sometimes
