Old School Reasons

Alkaline Trio · Remains [2007]

I've got these thoughts in my head

dirty as fuck and never leaveing

and there best left unsaid

over drinks under breath

got some shit off my chest

Threw it on my back next to the monkey nest

that somebody left with me the day i was born



I've got a hole in my head

the size of lake fucking Michigan

my pipe's lined in lead

got old school reasons to die

all my money's been spent

on a facelift via alcohal

as this sinner repents

to an empty bathroom reflection



Chorus:

please take these words

and do with them what you would like

the dream I had, it drove me mad

it's just your time, it's just my fucking life



I got a bottle in hand

straight to the ground with all my memories

It's best left unsaid

when they've all been left behind

all my money's been spent

on a DIY lobotomy

this sinner repents

to a lake and bathroom mirror



Chorus:x2

and that's my life

over and over again

it's just my fucking life



it might seem meaningless to you

but it means everything to me

and I'm fucked without you



Chorus:x1

and that's my life

over and over again

it's just my fucking life
