cutting teeth

i watch your tail lights fade

over this stale town

your arm still waving from your window

i can barley make out. i still can't believe

my life came down to this

but it's an eye for an eye

and i've got

nothing left to give. i woke up in the street

to rain on my face

and the taste of cigarettes

a bottle in hand

and disappointed friends. i can make it out if i could clear my fucking head

but i've failed so many times

cut so many teeth. i watch your tail lights fade

over this stale town

your arm still waving from your window

i can barley make out

i can't believe

my life came down to this

but it's an eye for an eye

and i've got

nothing left to give. and you're waiting for your friends to call

but they don't think about you any more. too many times you've said and never done

and now it seems impossible to spark interest

in anyone. i watch your tail lights fade

over this stale town

your arm still waving from your window

i can barley make out. i still can't believe

my life came down to this

but it's an eye for an eye

and i've got

nothing left to give. i wish that i'd had seen

with clipped wings

i still meant something

i still meant anything. i see you in my sleep

it haunts me. i don't owe you anything

i don't owe you anything. i wish that i'd had seen

with clipped wings

i still meant something

i still meant anything. i see you in my sleep

it haunts me. i don't owe you anything

i don't owe you anything. i watched a moth fight the rain

for a second of light. it makes me think

what am i doing

with my life.
