Gates lyrics



i am the pain that bleeds through your temples
 every morning when you wake up
 i am the boy with alcohol poisoning
 from all the parties chris would throw
 that summer that they took us in
 like every other american
 for getting drunk in back of the lion's club
 waiting for the sh*tty bands to finish up
 then some kids played hacky sack
 while the others just got high

it's not hard to fall for a waitress
 when you both smoke, smoke the same cigarettes
 you'll get seated as diners lovers
 you'll get the check as friends for the better
 you'll carve your names into the paupack cliffs
 just read them when you get old enough to know
 that happiness is just a moment

so i'm marching up to your gates today
 to throw my lonely soul away
 'cause i don't need it
 you can take it back
 [x2]

and they will make examples out of us
 like when they caught you in the cvs parking lot
 but i fed the liars
 i fed the liars
 i fed the liars
 everything i got
 everything i got in my cabinet brain
 of canned thoughts
 it was everything i've got
 everything i've got
 in my cabinet brain
 in my cabinet brain

so i'm marching up to your gates today
 to throw my lonely soul away
 'cause i don't need it
 you can take it back
 [x3]
