Not Looking Down

Another crack in a broken street

doesn't make much difference to me

as long as my shuttered steps keep up

with yours

Tired eyes, early AM, one move

turned into more again

So long, thanks for everything

I heard the keys in the bathroom stalls

last call and my exit followed

Not bleeding out, so stop feeling doubt

not looking back and not looking down

I'm inclined to waste my time

in the avenues tonight

Here's to the ones that carry on

To keep convictions sound

I'm laughing at the bridges burning down

That said I only need the ones I have

Walking down this dead end road

Never felt so right in the stereo

It's so loud in my head

this time

I see graffiti in the bathroom stalls

Last call last call Last call

We cross the lines even though

it don't make any sense

We toss the rinds and these things

of no significance

I'll lay my head down if it's

alright for tonight

So don't wake me when it's over

Stop bleeding out

Stop feeling doubt

Some will bite that hand that feeds

Until it breaks their fucking teeth

here's to the ones that sing along
