Sink

from Afterimage Chaser (May 6th 2000) (3:49)

There's a word for a place I've known
But it's incorrect til I'm far from home
Semi trucks pushing through a fucked-up brain
100 miles an hour with the gas tank drained
Half hour up and down Something Drive
Following the buses past the neon dives
It's 8 in the morning which I'll try to ignore as I'm
Kicking through the door before I fall on the floor

There's no mind, I don't think
No cares pissing in the sink
Sex, alcohol, just watch me drink
If I don't drown, you can watch me sink

Pointless like a circle but I'm making it work
Flying down the highway as if I was a jerk
But the difference is I know about the Big Pretty Lie:
One power failure, watch the culture die
Carnival season throwing smokes away
I know it all ends in a boring way
Obnoxious like me who talk about everything
I bend a paperclip and I'll make you a ring

There's no mind, I don't think
Who's there pissing in my sink
Sex, alcohol, just watch me drink
If I don't drown, you'll watch me sink

Electric noise flies through the air
Semitones blast and nobody cares
They keep on talking like they seen it all
They don't have any answers, just stupid gall
Eighteen drugs still fresh on my tendons
Five shots down, let's see how they blended
Talking to a person that isn't real
But really that's everybody with a plot they can steal

There's no mind, I don't think
I'm there pissing in my sink
Sex, alcohol, just watch me drink
If I can't drown, then watch me sink
