Gates

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am the pain that beats through your temples Every morning when you wake up I am the boy with alcohol poisoning From all the parties Chris was throwing That summer that they took us in Like every other American For getting drunk round the back of the Lions' Club Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up And some kids played hacky sack while the others just got high [Verse 2] It's not hard to fall for a waitress When you both smoke, smoke the same cigarettes You'll get seated as diner's lovers She'll get the check as friends for the better You'll carve your names into the Paupack cliffs Just to read them when you get old enough to know That happiness is just a moment [Chorus] 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 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 [Verse 3] 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 got, oh everything I got In my cabinet brain, in my cabinet brain [Chorus] 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 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 [Outro] So, I'm marching up to your gates today To throw my lonely soul away I don't need it, you can take it back
