Keep Your Wheels Straight

Dollar-fifty N/A beers at CBGB's
I don't know who you're with
But I know I'm not there
Sleeping bag rolled out on a backroom mattress
Laid out on the floor doom-scrolling til dawn

I'm keeping the faith
Everything will be okay
If I draw the curtains tight
And I sleep through the day
I'm keeping the faith
Everything will turn out great
If I can just keep my wheels steering straight

Sure as shit some kind of crossroads
That's just obvious
Is the ship coming in
Or is it slowly sailing away?
Living life a vampire
And my hands are covered in stigmata
Board up all the windows with a drill and a hammer

I'm keeping the faith
Everything will be okay
If I black out all the curtains
And I sleep through the day
I'm keeping the faith
Everything will turn out great
If I can just keep my wheels steering straight

I want the feel those songs give to me
Like "Angeles", "Needle in the Hay"
I want it to come from you
I want you to sing it for me
Oh my demon, my daemon, my darling friend
These centuries burn like summer days

I'm keeping the faith
Just like Bon Jovi
Disappear a decade
And come back in a day
Keeping the faith
Everything will be okay
I'll just kick out all the windows
When it's time to leave
Keeping the faith
Everything will turn out great
Keeping the faith
Everything will be okay
If I can just keep my wheels straight
