Alkaline Trio - Dead End Road

I thought that you were joking


When you said you couldn't breathe


You said you couldn't breathe


Turns out that you were choking


On a town you couldn't leave


You knew you'd never leave


It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old


You were only 8 years old


From then on there was no removal


From that one way dead end road


That one way dead end road





I thought that you were laughing


When you cried your eyeballs out


You cried your eyeballs out


And i don't mean to be prying


But what were you so sad about


What are you still sad about


Met your disappointment at the age of 9 years old


You were only 9 years old


From then on there would be no ointment


To take away these burns


To make that pain grow dull and forever ain't that long


When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song


All you think about is death


Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now


For way too long now





I thought that you were sleeping


When i found you there in bed


I found you there in bed


When i touched you you were freezing


It turned out that you were dead


It turned out that you were dead


It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old


You were only 8 years old


From then on there was no removal


From your fucked up head and your broken home and forever ain't that long


When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song


All you think about is death


Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now


For way too long now


For way too long now


For way too long now
