lyrics

Been there twice

She’s been there twice

Doesn’t like how the tap water tastes

It’s like all the bad things running through those pipes

Paying the price

Struggle through another broken promise

Kinda like all the bad friends running through her life

she asks herself

What did we do now to deserve it

is there a better life on a better side of here

it’s a game in itself

where no one really wins

we just play and play till there’s nothing left to lose

Rolling the dice

Justify all these sketchy choices

When you’re out of options and nothing seems worse than this

Living with this vice

It’s a crutch as much as an anchor

Says she’ll look ahead after living through tonight

Just one more pop

Kill the feeling with an illusion

When the street’s done chewing you up it’s gunna spit you out

you can’t make it stop

always searching for an exit

when you stop counting days and week and months and years

when you stop counting days and week and months and years

we’re all far from home

and we’re only getting further

bread crumb all gone stale and she’s lost the trail

what does she say

as she sits still watching the world turn

She said

sinners go to church saints go to jail

sinners go to church saints go to jail
