Brakeless

The sign out my window is laughing in my face
'Cause it’s 7 in the morning and only 4 degrees
And there’s a city budget crisis, they’re closing all the libraries
There’s no money left for nothin'
So they’re only plowing Broad Street
Picking lunch over the subway
I got 4 bucks to my name
And it’s another morning bike ride
In the frigid freezing rain
I pull a second pair of gloves off
Tying bags around my feet
I’m not getting drenched but this week
I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I’m not alone
But I feel like it today
Swipe left inside your car door
Caught my friend wheeling the trolly tracks
I showed up to work all bloodied up
But still got all my teeth
And lately that’s what’s passing as lucky
At least for me
I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I’m not alone
But I feel like it today
And I heard a song on the radio
Said that that’s just the way it goes
And I think I’m gonna break
I keep thinking of ways to make it seem like it ends today
Pull the brake on my bike so if the bus runs the light
I’ve been telling myself that it can’t be that serious
But if I’m I guess it is
I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I’m not alone
And I heard a song on the radio
Said that that’s just the way it goes
And I think I’m gonna break
