Cutting Teeth

I watched your tail lights fade
Over this stale town
Your arm still waving from the window
I can barely make out
I still can’t believe
My life came down to this
But it’s an eye for an eye
And I’ve got
Nothing left to give
I woke up in the street
To rain on my face
The taste of cigarettes
Bottle in hand
And disappointed friends
I can make it out if I could just clear my fucking head
But I’ve failed so many times
Cut so many teeth
I watched your tail lights fade
Over this stale town
Your arm still waving from the window
I can barely make out
I still can’t believe
My life came down to this
But it’s an eye for an eye
And I’ve got
Nothing left to give
And you’re waiting for your friends to call
But they don’t think about you anymore
Too many times you’ve said and never done
And now it seems impossible to spark interest
In anyone
I watched your tail lights fade
Over this stale town
Your arm still waving from the window
I can barely make out
I still can’t believe
My life came down to this
But it’s an eye for an eye
And I’ve got
Nothing left to give
I wish that I had seen
With clipped wings
That I still meant something
That I still meant anything
I see you in my sleep
It haunts me
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I wish that I had seen
With clipped wings
That I still meant something
That I still meant anything
I see you in my sleep
It haunts me
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I watched a moth fight the rain
For a second of light
It made me think
What am I doing
With my life
