“I’ll Take What’s in the Box, Monty”

[Verse #1]
The sky burns black blue bruised over these lights
From the station, these shitty cars, these liquor store signs
Let's walk and pretend that we're at the end
Of this scraping, this burning, this "the hard way" learning
I'm sick, you're tired, oh yeah

[Verse #2]
The leaves lay in graves on cracked sidewalk tiles
On backs, backs bent concave under weights
I'm not fine, I'm not fine and I'm not the one crying
I'm not fine, I'm not fine and I'm not the one crying
I'm sick, you're tired, oh yeah

[Chorus]
It can happen to you well, I'd love to believe
But I'm slamming this bottle on this same damned street
I've melted, I've felt it, it stings worse than pain
Apathy, exhaustion, it all seems the same
Far away, fire away
Fire away, far away

[Verse #3]
Sit next to me, we can talk or just kiss
You can rub my palm and say better than this
Your smile makes me cry when it's not on the right
And I'm not fine and I'm not the one crying
I'm sick. You're tired. Oh yeah

[Chorus]
It can happen to you well, I'd love to believe
But I'm slamming this bottle on this same damned street
I've melted, I've felt it, it stings worse than pain
Apathy, exhaustion, it all seems the same
Far away, fire away
Fire away, far away

[Bridge]
I'm dragging you down
'cause I'm lonely, I need you around
And I'm dragging you down
'cause I'm lonely, I need you around

[Outro]
So smile and sleep
So smile and sleep
And in the morning creep out the door
I don't know what you stayed this long for
And in the morning creep out the door
I don't know what you stayed this long for

Fire away (x7)
