this is a song
for the sad punks you know
and this is a song
for the sad punks you don’t know
i made a friend
on a fire escape i said
“hi there let me take you home
i’ll hold you nice
through this fucked up night
we can watch the fireworks
on my phone”
then my friend stretched out
like a feedback loop
that you’d hear
through a vast keyhole
so i took more pills
for some sad sick thrills
and realized that i still felt all alone
all alone
this is a song
for the sad punks you know
and this is a song
for the sad punks you don’t know
the jukebox is grinding out
those sacred trucker hymns
it’s like every
goddamn song i hear
knows exactly where i’ve been
and i know there’s nothing left
so i guess
i’m gonna get myself caught
or take more pills
for the sad sick thrills
and then i’ll shriek until my face
falls off (that’ll probably be our next single)
this is a song
for the sad punks you know
and this is a song
for the sad punks that you don’t know
