about

This song is primarily about my parents and my drinking, but was written out of anger at Charleston because of how many fights I was getting into while I lived there. I wouldn't go back and change anything, but it still helps to talk it out every once in a while.

lyrics

We are tired slaves to our remorse. Of feeling hatred since divorce.
They were never meant to be as one, and my mom spent nineteen years on the run.
I'm like my mother is and worse. Seems my depression is a curse.
I only wish there were a cure, 'cause I hate how those pills had made me turn.

I just wanna go home, I've been here for way to long.
Now getting drunk's the only way that I have fun.
Keep me from falling asleep 'cause I don't wanna sleep all day.
I will drink three Steel Reserves so I can keep the dreams away.
Keep away!

I bargained with the devil and I lost at far too young an age to know the cost.

A picture perfect family was meant for my father, not for me.
MY family's with the misfits like my heart, and my friends the type to sleep in shopping carts.
To be alone is to have peace, but loneliness is a disease.
I'll meet halfway, sit at a bar. My daddy chose the bank, I chose guitar.

I just wanna go home! I've been here for way too long.
Now getting stoned's the only way that I have fun.
Keep me from falling asleep, 'cause I just know I'll sleep all day.
I will drink three Steel Reserves so I can keep the dreams away.
Keep away!

I bargained with affection and I lost. Now I'd rather be alone despite the cost.
