Lyrics

I am a cup of rotten coffee, my thoughts are floating on my head And if you drink them in and chew them up, they're only gonna make you sick I lived my life like blackout bingo; trying on each home I thought might fit. Now there's a bean on every square, but someone's telling me I still can't win. I left when I thought leaving made things right. I've quit when quitting meant I didn't start a fight. I've spent half my wrists erasing what I write Half my days ashamed of half my nights Half my life escaping from my life. I've paid admission to the places I have loved by pawning off pieces of my heart Til I'm smeared across a globe with little hope of recovering half my parts. I've spent entire years behind a wheel wondering why it is I drive so hard. Til I'm no closer to an answer, ten years later, than the day I tried to start. I left when I thought leaving made things right. I've quit when quitting meant I didn't start a fight. I've spent half my wrists erasing what I write Half my days ashamed of half my nights Half my life escaping from my life Sometimes I'm certain I'm a train filled with strangers And we're all searching for a home we've never seen So I'll keep whistling my song low and pretty And we'll keep stumbling through the night like tunnels searching for the light. I left when I thought leaving made things right. I've quit when quitting meant I didn't start a fight. I've spent half my wrists erasing what I write Half my days ashamed of half my nights Half my life escaping from my life
