ALKALINE TRIO LYRICS - Old School Reasons

"Old School Reasons"



I got these thoughts in my head

dirty as fuck and never leaving

and then best left unsaid

all the drinks under breath



got some shit off my chest

put on my back next to the monkey nest

that somebody left

with me the day I was born



I got a hole in my head

the size of lake fuckin' michigan

my pipes lined in lead

got old school reasons to die



all my money's been spent

on a face lift via alochol

this sinner repents

to an empty bathroom reflection



please take these two words

and do with them what you would like

It's a dream I had, drove me mad

just your time, 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



please take these two words

and do with them what you would like

it's a dream I had, drove me mad

just your time, just my fucking life



so take these two words

and do with them what you would like

it's a dream you had, drove me mad

just your time, just my fucking life



and that's my life

over and over again

just my fucking life



it might seem meaningless to you

but it means everything to me

and I'm fucked without you



please take these words

and do with them what you would like

it's a dream I had, drove me mad

just your time, just my fucking life



and that's my life

over and over again

just my fucking life
