lyrics

I think I should be asleep
Even though it’s still early
But my heavy head's supposing I'd better off asleep
Pace the downstairs for a while
While up the stairs you rest
And I'm thinking I would rather have you
Passed out on my chest

But that only gets my weary mind to thinking
Of the man and places I would rather be
And that only brings a morning full of fighting
So I'm better off to let you stay asleep

Out the front door I now step
With no shoes upon my feet
And it's only half past ten
Still I can't help but to think
Someone's broke into my car again
Is digging through my things
Fantasize about the pain I’d cause
If I were to catch him

So I light a smoke in hopes that it might make me
Seem a little tougher than I am
And I won't give two shits about the pain that I'd cause
To this fellows family and friends
