smokestack

Alkaline Trio

Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I m a smokestack
Turning blood into booze
Now my liver s on fumes
Little alcoholic
I m always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I m standing in my own way
No, we can t skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well it was time for me to go home
Let s go and make some flyers for our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose

Do you really believe that didn t mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn t mean a thing?
Cause I m still believing, that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn t mean a thing?
Cause I sure don t
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life

Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar
I saw a life go past that I guess I could ve had
But I didn t try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
Cause it s time for me to go home

Do you really believe that didn t mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn t mean a thing?
Cause I m still believin , that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn t mean a thing?
Cause I sure don t
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
