lyrics

Half-Priced Hammer:

There's nothing good about me,
I kill your lawn with my stare,
I throw my trash on the street each Sunday.
There are no poems in my pen,
there are no checks in my mail,
You're gonna stumble upon me one day,
Doomed to haunting backalleys...
I have no use for your world,
I call out sick everyday,
I get drunk everynight, feeling okay...
Zoom out this scene,
you'll see what I mean,
what we do doesn't matter any way,

So let whatever be,
Maybe the great things will come so easy,

So sick of the feeling,
of never dealing,
with the fear that's always here.
Hang numb 'til the weekend,
Quick dive off the deep end,
Let it roll another year,
and every night,
and everyday,
I burn my last bridge
check out the wreckage, oh, oh
and every night,
and everyday,
you weren't expecting,
my great big wrecking ball....

Everyday comes too soon,
I wanna sleep in past noon,
I wanna wake up and howl at the moon...
Sirens and lights,
broken bottles and fights,
Take in every chemical in sight,
I hope this fever never leaves....
And when it burns to the ground, 
you won't find me around,
Half-Priced Hammer took down your ghost town,
And on the day that I die,
I'll find no comfort in sky,
Never found a story I could buy..

Born again on Halloween,
I Was never heard and I was never seen...

So sick of the feeling,
of never dealing,
with the fear that's always here.
Hang numb 'til the weekend,
Quick dive off the deep end,
Let it roll another year,
and every night,
and everyday,
I burn my last bridge
check out the wreckage, oh, oh
and every night,
and everyday,
you weren't expecting,
my great big wrecking ball....

Well, I've set aside some money for tonight, 
Let's see what it can buy,
You'd better lock your doors, 
Here come the Nexus Whores,
Broke my fist against the sky, 
And when the account runs out, 
I don't mind,
And you can roll the sidewalks up, 
I don't mind, 
and you can shut down the late night scene,
lock me in quarantine,  
bust out the guillotine,  
to me that's fine, fine,  fine. 
I don't mind.
