That’s Cool... In A Totally Negative And Destructive Way

PACKED ALL YOU HAD INTO A DUFFLE BAG
“MAYBE A CHANGE OF PACE WON’T BE SO BAD”
AS YOU STARE INTO A PINT GLASS
CIGGARETTES PILED UP IN A TIME-LAPSE
THE CLOCK STRIKES 3 AND YOU’RE SLAMMIN THE DOOR
CALIFORNIA DOESN’T SEEM THAT FAR ANYMORE
THE PROMISE YOU MADE AND THE FRIENDS THAT YOU HATE
ARE A THING OF THE PAST, IN THE MIRROR AND THEY'RE FADING FAST

WHAT’LL IT TAKE FOR ME TO FUCK THIS UP?
WHAT IF YOU SAID I WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH?
WHEN DID THE SIMPLE THINGS BECOME SO TOUGH?

STUCK IN THE PAST AND NOW I’M STUCK IN A RUT
GIVE ME THE ROAD AND GIVE ME GASOLINE
THE FURTHER I GO THE CLOSER PROBLEMS SEEM
BUT LIKE I ALWAYS SAY
MY SOLUTIONS ARE COOL IN A TOTALLY DESTRUCTIVE WAY

SOMEDAY WAS YESTERDAY YOU SAID
ICE-PACK HELD AGAINST YOUR HEAD
ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT TO GO

FEELING BAD AND NEVER LOSING TRACK
REMEMBERING ALL THE THINGS THAT HELD YOU BACK
LIKE YOUR FAST FADING CONSCIENCE
LITTLE GUILT FROM A LITTLE INDULGENCE
A TRUNK FULL OF QUESTIONS YOU COULDN’T IGNORE
NOW YOU’RE FINDING STATE LINES LIKE THERE AREN’T ANYMORE
YOU SAY THAT YOUR’RE GREAT, AND LETTING GO OF THE HATE
BUT IT SHOWS ON YOUR FACE, AND THE SCARS THEY WON’T FADE

WHAT’LL IT TAKE FOR ME TO FUCK THIS UP?
WHAT IF YOU SAID I WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH?
WHEN DID THE SIMPLE THINGS BECOME SO TOUGH?
