about

Notes: One lyric, or simple truth, that grew into a song. Written during the deepest part of the Winter of '07. A bitter, 7-month stretch of sub-zero gray.

lyrics

Pigs in the pen
Did it again
Lost in the wilderness
I begin
Youth is gone
Far less bold
What a crummy way to grow old.

(Chorus)
On the sidewalk in winter.
I’m on the sidewalk in winter,
And it’s fucking cold.

Aint goin down to defeat
Aint doin it on repeat
Ground’s too frozen to grow
Or to put my hands in concrete setting slow.

(Chorus)

Burned out. Confused.
The reasons are new
But not the way we abuse.
Go ahead and squeeze, and burn.
It’s my experience we never learn.

(Chorus)

Betray us our secrets
Our hereoes and weakness
What the hell am I doin this for
Aint no knockin at my door
(Chorus)
