I set my traps with songs and words
To catch someone who cares
They set them off now and again
But a catch is getting rare
Well Sally left six months ago
And now nobodys there
I'm learning how to take it slow
And accept my cross to bare

A kid came up after a show
And said he was a fan
Said I taught him how to plant
His feet and take a stand
Said I taught him how to stand
Up strong and be a man
I said that ain't a fight you win
I guess he didn't understand

I keep my curtains always closed
To keep the light away
It makes it hard to tell sometimes
Wether it's night or day
But that's alright. It makes the days
Go faster anyway
If there's a good reason, I'll go out
But usually I stay

I make some calls every now and then
But I don't know what for
Everytime I do, my friends
Don't answer anymore
Cause if you always stay the same
Then quickly they'll get bored
And soon nobody knows your name
And then you'll be ignored

I've always got nowhere to go
So I always stay inside
They say I'm trying to keep away
They say I'm trying to hide
But when I go, I go alone
And it always hurts my pride
Last time I just drove around
Then came back home and cried

Lately I've been drinking less
That's a good thing I suppose
But my home's becoming one big mess
And every day it grows
I'm smoking near two packs a day
And man I think it shows
If I just up and left today
No one would ever know

I've had my share of better days
I ain't here to complain
I got no cause to anyway
I got no one to blame
Today was nothing to take note
Tomorrow'll be the same
Unless I opt to pack it in
And try to find a train

I'll head down south and find a place
Where nobodys around
I'll smash my phone to little bits
To make sure I'm not found
I'll rip the engine out my car
To really tie me down
And there I'll stay until I die
Then sink into the ground.
