lyrics

i'm driving high as a knife
down the interstate at 2:00 am
looking at passing hazard signs
i swore that i would never do this
but i've been trying new things,
trying to be something brave and bold
something to make you like me
and i'm moving fast,
breathing in and out
still have the taste of your sweat on my fucking mouth
and i see the car,
rolling half a dozen miles down pothole ridden road
and i feel uncomfortable
so hot and cold

and i've been given my grandmothers name
we all think our mothers got it wrong,
but we all turn out the fucking same
we're setting fires in the summer,
keeping hands inside the flame
it doesn't matter if the skin burns off,
it's all the fucking same
and i've been watching as the flag keeps it's height
it keeps on waving as black boys and girls lay dead in the streetlight
and as police laugh at their wrongdoings,
the courts sing praise to a ghoulish band
the chains defy the act of breaking
and i refuse to understand

and i refuse to be a man
and i refuse to be american
and i refuse to be awake and alive
as the ocean becomes the sand
as we create this ladder to a heaven
that we'll be denied in the fucking end
we'll never have learned our fucking lesson
systematic and cold,
gears broken again and again

i'm driving high, fucking stoned out of my mind
thinking "if i didn't get to choose to be here,
then i can choose to fucking die"
and i'll keep pretending,
just saying that i'm alright
but as the white house lights stay on
i know there'll be no end in sight
