Rollerskate

Drinking from the steaming street
Filling up my lungs with heat
Breathe out all that anger
Try to find some inner peace
Shadows trying to run me down
Telling me it ain’t my town
Be that it as it may
I’m cashing in my favor now
Hid it in the basement
Gotta keep it safe somehow
But it’s really quite a shame that it’s gone to waste
I was hoping to bring some home
As I slowly roller-skate through a wall of hate
I was hoping to save my soul, but what’s it for?
Tumbling down that hill again
Bodied by the rushing wind
Then I reach the end yet
Wonder why the light’s so dim
Listen to your roommates hum
Down the hall as I woke up
Chair legs on the hardwood
Think I’ll pour myself a cup
Sister for the weekend
Love you still when Monday comes
But it’s really quite a shame that it’s gone to waste
I was starting to feel so whole
Feel like every single day’s such a piece of cake
I was trying to bring some home
As I slowly roller-skate through a wall of hate
I was hoping to save my soul, but what’s it for?
