lyrics

Meaning: nostalgia, betrayal, and insanity.

The unforgiving aspect of life kicks in
As I’m born over and over with
The sharpest pain somewhere deep
But do I have to settle for this
This fucking surreality
It’s eating at the thing keeping me alive
But if only I could listen to those days
Lazing on my bed, freshly cleansed
Turning down Western Underground
As the dead man whispers George
Or whoever in the fuck you are
You don’t have to stay to destiny
Just be what you want to be.

And out sings Alexakis paired tear-stain
About a body wrapped up for embalmment
I cry like a baby, fucking idiot I am
Down underground where I melt
Where my skin peels orangina
And the blood won’t stop
Turning down Western Underground
With my whitewashed teeth
Please spare me the details mother
You never stopped Dad
You never caught him
You were busy swimming in advertising.

How I want to be free from this
Bullshit lumped onto my via standards
Fucking Sun Kil Moon LP
Weighs as much as my discorporate mind
Turning down Western Underground
What are you gonna do with me
Sell me away like the freak you think I am
Bought in fear of people noticing the skinny me
Well, I ain’t exactly some stupid shit
Who spends his day getting high to LeDoux
And Brooks and Dunn and Brooks and Huff
Off myself to Western Underground as it
Plays that tune she said to me
Said to me, said to me.

I feel good, it hurts.
