Sudden Death in Carolina

Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter and this morning I threw up fire
But it's nothing new. I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
With every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room
Every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song
And every stupid word that everybody's hanging on

[Chorus]
What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick
So call 911
I'm already dead but someone should be caught
And held responsible for this bloody mess

Last night I fell asleep next to a liar and I woke up with a shiner
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back
With a view of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head
This quiet, dark bed feels like the middle of nowhere
We beat each other up just like we always do
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you

[Chorus]
What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick
So call 911
I'm already dead but someone should be caught
And held responsible for this bloody mess

Call homicide. Take the case to court
Her lips taste like a loaded gun
And I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

They hung her from the bridge on Monday
The gathering turned into a mob out on the lawn
They dropped her body in the river
And school and work returned to normal before long...

Call 911
I'm already dead but someone should be caught
And held responsible for this bloody mess

Call homicide. Take the case to court
Her lips taste like a loaded gun
And I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor
