hometown

Shortcut to a quick buck is working all the time
 Renting out your mind and saving every dime
 Because when ten of those combine, they cross a sacred line
 And go from pocket change to a gold mine
 She said she'd be down to hang out
 With her parents out of town
 She was hoping I'm around
 For a party at her vacant place
 I said I'd come
 Showed up and felt out of place, so I headed home
 That's when she texts my phone and ask me where
 I was and when I said I was gone
 She broke my spine
 And in that pain
 I realized that every dime I've ever saved
 It wasn't worth anything
 What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are?
 What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far?
 Yeah, my friends are saying
 I've been wasting all my weekends contemplating
 If it's me or the booze that really gets wasted
 I don't even taste it
 I'm throwing back shots as if it's a race
 Then quickly chase them
 Without a mouth, I'm so down
 But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone
 And just when I-
 Hometown girls are my greatest fear
 So, in a couple days, I'll be off to college for another year
 I'm thinking, I'm getting away by hitting the road
 Somehow, she make it to all of my shows, now where can I go?
 Girl, it's a simple matter
 Your painted finger on my tongue
 So I can taste the lacquer
 Relive each door that you have touched
 And then she split my lips
 And for three whole days
 I tried to speak, but everyone agreed
 They couldn't hear a word I'd say
 What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are?
 What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far?
 I'm saying, "Oh, I don't know
 Take me anywhere but home"
 Without a mouth, I'm so down
 But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone
 And just when I think I'm in the clear
 She hook her hair behind her ear
 She said I'm going down
 She said, "Baby, it's okay to feel
 The way you do if you keep it to yourself"
 Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips
 But it sure ain't no fun with no teeth and no tongue
 Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips
 But it sure ain't no fun with no teeth and no tongue
 Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips
 I say, "Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips"
 I say, "Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips"

 Without a mouth, I'm so down

 Just when I think I'm in the clear
 She hook her hair behind her ear
 She said, "Babe, are you aware
 Of who I am?"
